Semper Fi!
One day a man decides to buy a talking parrot. So he goes to a pet store. The owner tells the man he has one bird left, and that the bird will repeat any word it hears. So the man buys the bird and takes it home and starts talking to it. But the bird never repeats a word. Whats wrong?

okay...now try this one


Note: This must be done in your head only. Do NOT use paper and pencil or a calculator. Try it.

Take 1000 and add 40 to it. Now add another 1000. Now add 30. Add another 1000. Now add 20. Now add another 1000. Now add 10.

What is the total?

Did you get 5000?

The correct answer is actually 4100.

Don't believe it? Okay, check with your calculator!

1) Concentrate on the four dots in the middle of the picture for about 30 seconds.
2) Then close your eyes and tilt your head back.
3) Keep your eyes closed. You will see a circle of light. Continue looking at the circle...
What do you see?

when you add 4090 and 10 it is easy to bump that to 5000 in your head because you mess up the digits

Maybe those idiots need to learn New Math
