Here's a little test drawn up about 30 years ago. This is not a trick, there is no weird math going on with these numbers there's no hidden symbols or decimal points. Each number is separated by a comma and a space to help, this is not relevant at all. There are 2 simple rules
1. Add these number together from left to right, top to bottom as if you were reading a book
2. Do it out loud as quickly as you can
Ready? Go!
10, 10, 10, 1000, 10, 1010,
10, 10, 1010, 10, 1010.
What is the answer?
Solution below.

"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)
