I was waiting for the punch line myself. Thought maybe there was a mystery number in there or something. I got 4100 also.

Yes, that was on the first attempt and did it 4x in my head again in case I was missing something.

OK, how about this one?
A man is trapped in a room. The room has only two possible exits: two doors. Through the first door there is a room constructed from magnifying glass. The blazing hot sun instantly fries anything or anyone that enters. Through the second door there is a fire-breathing dragon. How does the man escape?

Another two doors.
Stuck in a room with two doors, each with a guard. One door leads to freedom, one to death. You're allowed to ask one question only, to find the right door. One guard will always tell the truth to your question, the other will always lie. What do you ask?
