9 ∣ 1 7 ∣ 2 1 ∣ 3 8 ∣ 4 7 ∣ 5 5 ∣ 6 2 ∣ 7 7 ∣ 8 6 ∣ 9 3
The above are 10 single-digit numbers partitioned by 9 vertical bars ∣ 1 through ∣ 9 . Our goal is to get a total sum of 1000 by removing some bars—1 bar, or 2 consecutive bars, as many times as you want—and thus creating some two-dight or three-digit numbers.
For example, if you decided to remove four bars ∣ 2 ∣ 4 ∣ 5 ∣ 9 , the sum would be 9 + 7 1 + 8 7 5 + 2 + 7 + 6 3 . And if you think this sum is indeed 1000, write your answer as 2459, the concatenation of the bar numbers from least to greatest.
