As usual, each number should be used once, and once only, and must be added, subtracted, multiplied or divided to make a balanced equation.
There is a perfect solution, ie one that uses the numbers in the order they appear, but it is far from obvious.

My solution: 9 ÷ (2 + 1) + 3 = 6
or 9 x 2 = 1 x 3 x 6
ReplyDeleteYes!
DeleteAnother solution is 9 / (2 - 1) = 3 + 6
ReplyDeleteAny more?!
DeleteSimilar to Derek's solution is 9 x 2 x 1 = 3 x 6
ReplyDeleteHmm - it's beginning to seem it wasn't such a tricky puzzle after all ...
