A two-fer....

WxMan is taking a weeks vacation so we are up to our eyeballs in "Honey-do" projects. So while I am puttering away, here is a Brain Bender twofer to help you waste time at work exercise those braincells. Ready??

The multiplication problem below uses all the digits from 1 to 9 once only. Three numbers have been filled in to get you started. Can you fill in the rest??

Okay, you know how to play.... The answers will be found in the comments later. I am off to the garage...

Update: Well, we got a good start on the garage. More to follow tomorrow... And in other news, Oddybobo is today's official smartypants! Whoohoo!
