Using the digits in 1996 and any operations (but not mathematical constants), try to write equations that have the numbers from 0 to 100 as the answer.
For example with 1995:
0 = 1*(9-9)*5
2 = (19-9)/5
etc.
Provide as many as you can. Digits 1,9,9 and 6 do not have to appear in order. (But each digit has to be used - 1 and 6 once, 9 twice.)
This is more of a game than a puzzle

Cheating? What kind of geek are you? :-P> Everything not explicitly laid out in the rules is fair game.

D'oh! I missed 31? I really had a hard time waking up this morning...
31: 96 / √9 - 1
47: 9 x (6 - 1) + |_ln 9_|
49: (9 - |_√6_|)^(√9 - 1)
89: 91 - √√16
