1000
+ 40
= 1040
+ 1000
= 2040
+ 30
= 2070
+ 1000
= 3070
+ 20
= 3090
+ 1000
= 4090
+ 10
= 4100
ahah! I've come across this before!
at 4090 + 10 ==> a lot of people would mentally add it up to 5000, because they see it as 4990 + 10

4100
here,4*1000+(40+30+20+10)
or 4000+100=4100 ans.

Last week, at Brainiac: Science Abuse was this question, with the same sum.
They said you could get tricked and say 5000, but the sum was 4100. :P
