In how many ways can 6 different numbers be chosen from the first 25 positive integers such that the product of these numbers is a power of 6?
Note: This problem is adapted from a regional math competition for students up to grade 9 and calculators were not allowed.

computer solution (spoiler) by Charlie)
You appear to be missing at least one set:
1*2*3*4*6*9 = 1296 = 6^4
Not sure if there are still others...
