Problem
What is the value of 
Solution 1
We see that 
and 
each appear in the ones, tens, hundreds, and thousands digit exactly once. Since 
, we find that the sum is equal to ![\[10\cdot(1+10+100+1000)=\boxed{\textbf{(E)} \: 11{,}110}.\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/c/d/9/cd92c0d1d365e60e535571a75b7976384857893e.png)
Note that it is equally valid to manually add all four numbers together to get the answer.

Solution 2
We have ![\[1234 + 2341 + 3412 + 4123 = 1111 \left( 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 \right) = \boxed{\textbf{(E)} \: 11{,}110}.\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/a/b/9/ab9f64db20cec332a367cb90f8cc5f2b812b5d36.png)

Solution 3
We see that the units digit must be 
, since 
is . But every digit from there, will be a 
since we have that each time afterwards, we must carry the from the previous sum. The answer choice that satisfies these conditions is 
.
~stjwyl
Solution 4 (Brute Force)
We can simply add the numbers. 
.
Note: Although this would not take terribly long, it is not recommended to do this in a real contest.
