Happy New Year!

January 1, 2013

As we begin the new year, we note that 109-8*7+654*3-2/1 = 2013. There are three other combinations of the numbers 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, in order, combined with the five operators NIL, +, -, * and / that also evaluate to 2013.

Your task is to write a program that finds all four expressions that evaluate to 2013. When you are finished, you are welcome to read or run a suggested solution, or to post your own solution or discuss the exercise in the comments below.
