    The 1 was there to trick but there are several ways of doing this.

    Its not really fair of me to play these type of puzzle games, being an accounts type bod!

    well 12*10=120
    but if i have to use all the numbers then:
    2+1=3 (so you have two 3)
    10*12=120
    120*3=360
    360/3=120

    can you make 100 using the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 (only once each) and only using + and *
