[Jay!]

I only got the math one wrong. 1 and 9 are almost the same, right?

[J SPEC SilEighty]

I only got the last one right.
On that math one it's wierd how I got 5000 just by adding fast. When I did it slow it came out 4100. I was trying to figure out what I did that made it come out to 5000

[Damien]

So what's it mean if you got them all right???

Actually, if you overtake the person in last place you must in first place, and have just begun to lap the field

It's cuz, when you add up all that stuff, before you get to add the last 10, you have 4090, and when you add 10, you subconciously carry the 1 to the 1000ths place instead of the 100ths place.
