Blank Space Part 2

Logic Level 2

$\large 1 \, \square \, 2 \, \square \, 3$

There are $4^2= 16$ ways in which we can fill the squares with $+ , - ,\times, \div$ .

Of all these 16 ways, we can find 16 not necessarily distinct numbers. What is the product of all these 16 numbers?

Note :
You are not allowed to use parenthesis.
Obey the order of operations.

One of the sixteen numbers is $0=1+2-3$ . Therefore, the product will be $\boxed{0}$ .

the problem with doing these problems between 1am-6am is that you miss the details. I calculated for the sum -_-
