What is the sum of all 2-digit positive numbers whose digits are either 1, 2, 3 or 4?

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

i think there should be a note at the side warning users not to ask brilliant challenge problems. there are too many of them lately

Well Saket,I don't know why you people are SO damn desperate to obtain points and level up.Dude,see,you cheat and acquire many points,then what do you do with it?I'm sure if you acquire points by unfair means you won't be able to catch up with the master sessions(the only place where you can spend points right now except the lanyard,I'm assuming you have acquired atleaast 600points by fair means.).Don't take everything so seriously...

Thank you guy's for bringing this to our attention, We will soon be implementing a revised rule list visible on the side. Currently there is a list of rules and guidelines visible on the start a discussion page. Apparently it is not visible enough there. We will post more explicit rules and guidelines somewhere more visible.
