Oh, you're right, you're right. Forgot about that whole stupid "order of operations" thing. Let's see if we can correct that.

( 1 * 5 * 2 + 7 ) * 3 - 9 = 42 smiley - ok

Just thought of another one...

(1+5*2+7)/3*9="42"

(Note, of course, that (1+5*2+7)/3=6.. and I think you can figure out the rest.)

Appropriate or no?
