Re: For 2014?

Thanks for sharing. Was obviously not aware of this.
Here a tweet conform code e.g. 139 chars - output could be nicer but 140 is a strong limitation given the long function names...


l=Range[9];r=StringJoin[Riffle[ToString/@l,#]]&/@Tuples[{"+","-","*","/",""},8];Grid[{#,Extract[r,Position[ToExpression/@r,#]]}&/@(l+2010)]
