Mathematics_Rocks Hope you all have a good start with the new year 2010 (Twenty Ten).

Let us have fun with arithmetic, to derive 2010.

2010 = 1+2-(3-4-5)*6*7*8-9
2010 = 1-(2+(3-4-5)*6*7)*8+9
2010 = 1+2+(3+4*(5+6*7+8))*9
2010 = 1+2*(3*4*(5+6)-7)*8+9
2010 = 1*2*3*(4*(5*6+7*8)-9)
2010 = 1+2+(3+4*(5-6+7*8))*9
2010 = (1-2-3+4*(5/6+7*8))*9
2010 = (1+2+3*4)*(5-6+(7+8)*9)
2010 = 1+2+((3*(4+5)+6)*7-8)*9
2010 = (1+2+3)*(4*(5*6+7*8)-9)
2010 = 1+2+3*(4*(5+6)*(7+8)+9)
2010 = (1*2/3)*((4+5)*6*7*8-9)
2010 = (1-2-3)*((4+5)/6-7*8*9)
2010 = (1*2+(3-4*(5/6-7))*8)*9
2010 = 1*(2+(3-4*(5/6-7))*8)*9
2010 = (1+2*(3+4))*(5-6+(7+8)*9)

    @Prabhu :) Yes.

    Such expressions are really fun to derive.
