(Trial and error)- well, you have to start from somewhere......... use the 1 and the 0 to get 10. then work backwards to find another 10 to multiply that 10 to get to 100. so you need to play around with numbers 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9then (6+4)* (8-5-2)*(7+3-9) = 10*1*1 =10 Then the final answer (if I understood the question) might be: 100 = 1.0. * (6+4)(8-5-2)(7+3-9) Similarly, say you decide to get to 100 from using 2*50. Then you have to play around with numbers 1, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9 to get to 1. Messing around with the numbers would then bring you to this: use the 1 and 3 to get to 13. then 1.3. - 6 - 7 + 9 - 8 = 1 so the answer would be.. 100 = 2 * 5.0. *(1.3. - 6 - 7 + 9 - 8 ) Regards, Ariella
