Seeing we enjoyed Bobs math question so much:

This must be done in your head only.

Do not use paper and pencil or a calculator

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?

I got 4100 but in my head I was going to say 5000. Clever. 🙂

Say Milk 3 times quickly. Now, what do cows drink?

Say Roast 3 times quickly. Now, what do you put in a toaster?
