Do you have a site where I can get the answer to Will Shortz's NPR puzzle?

Asked by LostInParadise (31924points) October 30th, 2016

Will Shortz gives weekly puzzles on NPR. Two weeks ago he gave a special two week puzzle for being able to form as many numbers as possible using the digits 5,4,3,2 and 1 in that order with +,-,* or / between then and allowing the use of parentheses. The answer is usually given to these puzzles, but since the solution to this one was so long, all that he said is that all numbers could be created except 39. I wrote a program to solve this, but was missing several numbers, so I would like to see what I did wrong.
