Suppose you are allowed to use all 10 digits (0,1,2,...9) at most once each; 4 arithmetic operations (−,+,×,÷), each any number of times; parenthesises to group operations; and you can create numbers from digits by writing them together.
What is the smallest natural number which you would not be able to write?
For example, you can write:
135=12∗3∗(9+6)/4
and you can't write:
11=11
3=2+3/3
27=3+4!
81=34
1=5/3
