Puzzle for December 19, 2008

Happy last day of school before Christmas!

Here's a game you can play with your family. Contig is a game played with three dice and a board like the image below. Each player rolls the dice, then uses the basic arithmetic operations ( +, -, *, / ) to build an equation with those dice which equals one of the available squares on the board.

You earn a point for the square you picked, plus an additional point for each square already used which touches the square you have chosen, giving you up to 9 points per turn.

There are full details on the site linked above. Looking at the play board though, is it possible to score a one when throwing three dice?
