Using all the digits from one to nine only once, make up three numbers of three digits each. Add these three numbers together to give you an answer.
There are a lot of possible answers you can get - how many of these are prime?

None are prime. This can be demonstrated with a simple mental exercise that will amaze us all.
At least that is what I am guessing.

If a digital root of a number is 9, it is dividable by 9, so no matter how you arrange and sum up the digits from 1 to 9 (1+2+...+9 has a digital root of 9) you always get a number dividable by 9.
Sapient got it.
