Find nine single digit numbers (other than 1, 2, 3, ..., and 9) with a sum of 45 and a product of 9! (362,880).

For instance, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8 add up to 45, but their product is 645,120.

Try finding the answer without the use of a program.

Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie.

I laughed when I read your comment.  You and your computer programs.  I saw your first comment and then your reply to yourself and just had to laugh.  At least you tried. 

I can picture someone sitting with pen and paper and all kinds of numbers written and scatched out, etc., just beating their head on the desk, saying, "Why? Why? Why?, I can write a program for this in about five minutes."
