Okay, so I write a lot of Riley and story riddles; however, I've noticed that I like the mathematical riddles too! I decided to write one, and I hope you all enjoy it. A few rules:

• No rotation.


• No duplication.


• No combination.


• No rounding.


• No computers.

---

Good luck to all of you!

---

You are given the following set of numbers: $1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6$. Inject these numbers into the following equation to create a true statement.

$$fraca - b + c / d * e 6 = frac6f$$

I think it's:

$(6-4+5/1*2)/6)$ = $(6/3)$

$frac1 - 2 + 6/3*56 = frac64 = frac32 = 1.5$

So

$a=1, b=2, c=6, d=3, e=5, f=4$

Edit: The rules say no computers and I didn't use a computer to get the first answer but I did use one to get these other answers:

$frac1 - 2 + 5/3*66 = frac64, frac1 - 4 + 5/2*66 = frac63, frac1 - 4 + 6/2*56 = frac63, frac3 - 5 + 2/1*46 = frac66, frac3 - 5 + 4/1*26 = frac66, frac6 - 4 + 2/1*56 = frac63, frac6 - 4 + 5/1*26 = frac63$

These are all the solutions I believe.

$frac1 - 2 + 6/3*56 = frac64 = frac32 = 1.5$

So

$a=1, b=2, c=6, d=3, e=5, f=4$

Edit: The rules say no computers and I didn't use a computer to get the first answer but I did use one to get these other answers:

$frac1 - 2 + 5/3*66 = frac64, frac1 - 4 + 5/2*66 = frac63, frac1 - 4 + 6/2*56 = frac63, frac3 - 5 + 2/1*46 = frac66, frac3 - 5 + 4/1*26 = frac66, frac6 - 4 + 2/1*56 = frac63, frac6 - 4 + 5/1*26 = frac63$

These are all the solutions I believe.
