Here’s hoping this year will be better than the last one.

I couldn’t resist checking your math by pasting it into a Google search bar, which had the side affect of googling the equation, which turned up this analysis:

Good to know you’ve got 80 more years of solvable equations.
Nice find! I didn’t know about that article or the MoMath connection. I could also have written:
10*9*8+7*6+5*4*3*21
10*9+8*7*6*5+4*3*21
10-9*8-76+5*432*1
10-9*8-76+5*432/1
10-9+8*7+654*3+2+1
I chose the one I did because it seemed the prettiest.
I would be very happy to find myself feeling disappointed in 2102. 🙂
Incidentally, if you allow parentheses, the possibilities open up. For example:
(10-9-8+7*6)*5*4*3+2*1
10*(9-8)*7*6*5-4+3+2+1
10/(9-8)*7*6*5-4+3*2*1
