I have this dmentia. I can't believe I overlooked the addition problem. Of course it's 4 thousand one hundred. I added up the tens wrong. The other problems, yes, I got them wrong too. No, I got the one about second place right. I think. Can't remember exactly because I took the test this afternoon. Are you happy now?? :rolleyes:

I got the bonus question right and sort of got the first one. I thought the incorrect answer first but corrected it by the time I looked at the solution.
