#0, Getting to 100
Posted by ajr123 on Nov-13-01 at 02:36 PM
Here's a number puzzle for early math that should be easy but is it?

Use all the digits 1 to 9 only once either as single integers or combining them such as 45. Using the add and subtract operators only to arrive at a total of 100.

Example that is not quite there :- 34 + 65 + 19 - 2 - 7 - 8 = 101
