U109000 = 10 9! 000 = 10 362880 000 = (1+0-3+6+2) * (8-(8000^0)) = 42

BIG CHEAT!! = 10(base 13)+9 = 19(Base13) + 0*0*0 = 22 = 42 (base5)

EVEN BIGGER CHEAT 10(Base 42) + (9*0*0*0) = 42!!!

10 9! 000 = 10 362880 000 = (1+0-3+6+2) * (8-(8000^0)) = 42

OR (AND THIS WORKS) U109000 = invtan(1) + 0 - sqrt(9) + 0 + 0 + 0 = 42!
