One of the problems in my AI class was to solve this was using genetic algorithms - which seem a perfect way to solve such problems because the intended goal is already known. A similar problem (with lesser constraints), is : Given the digits 0 through 9 and the operators +, -, * and /, find a sequence that will represent a given target number. The operators will be applied sequentially from left to right as you read. which is explained at http://www.ai-junkie.com/ga/intro/gat3.html http://www.ai-junkie.com/ga/intro/gat3.html
