    With the numbers 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 and 9, make them add up to exactly 100.

    You can use addition, multiplication, subtraction and division, but they must stay in the same order.

    (Note: I'm working with the set of numbers Z modulo 101, not Z, which is what the rest of you are using.)

    -1-2-3-4-5+6+7-8+9

    (In Z, the above equals -1. In Z mod 101, the above equals 100. Weee.)
