let's give it a try ...
the biggest hint for this math riddle is in the digits .. emm .. so adding/subtracting or doing anything else isn't helping much ...
the second biggest hint is the word OVER ... it does not say that it shud be 4000 years ... it can 4000+ ...
emmm ....
1961 + 4000 = 5961 .... nops .. dznt' sound goood ...
now lets check one more thing .. which is basically the answer ... in my thinking ..
try to ROTATE the numbers 1961 @ 180 degree ... it'll again create the same number 1961 ... so i need to find another number which should result in same number after 180 rotation and must be 4000 greater than 1961
so the answer is .. 6009
rotate the number to 180 degree .. and it'll give 6009 ... and it is 4048 greater than 1961 ...
am i rite na ... ?
