Just had a vodka martini after a hard fought golf match. Don't be too hard on me. . .just a decimal point off. . what's that amongst accounting type friends? Gun is gone though. . . and that, I sincerely regret...gone literally in 60 seconds.
I actually add left to right verbally:
Example
11,129
. 9,360
. 1,670
. . 960
. . ..59
add it golf score like
10,--- . -(10 thousand column)
+11,---,-(thousands column) = 21,---;
+ 1,900 (hundreds column) = 22,9--;
+. . 260 (tens column) . . . . = 23,15-;
+. . . 18 (ones column) . . . .= 23,168
Try it a few times; you can add columns of 50 figures and get the sum pretty much faster than a calculator.
