Two brothers were walking down the road. The first brother poses a question to the other:
'If I take the digits 1 through 9 and write them down in sequence, what combination of multiplies and divides would I need between each of the digits so that the result is the age of our father'
The second brother replies - 'You've got me stumped there'
The first brother then says 'Well, there are no adjacent divides in the answer'
The second brother then comes up with the solution, can you?
Here's a couple of examples showing possible results
1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 5 / 6 x 7 x 8 x 9 =
1 x 2 / 3 x 4 / 5 x 6 x 7 x 8 x 9 =
