Hi,
it might depend where your input values were coming from. If they were coming from nodes or some gadget you can turn off when the output is zero then there may be a version using 3 calculator gadgets.

In this case you can use the fact that with wire blend mode - "Blend" the power of the input gadget is used to blend the wire value onto the slider. So if you use calculators (set to "minimum") you can set the sliders on the calculator to 1000 and wire into them with blend mode - "Blend". Wire the calculators up so that two inputs go into the first calculator, 2 inputs go into the second and then results from each calculator go into the third. Also wire the output from each input into it's own power so that when the output is zero the input is powered off. Now when a node's output is 0 the calculator will take the value on the slider (1000) instead of the value on the wire. You can then wire all the inputs into the power of the final calculator so that in the case where all inputs are zero the final calculator will be off and also output zero.

If you don't know what I'm talking about with wire blend modes then have a look at a tweak menu and hold L1 over the input port of a tweak that you have wired into. Pressing L1 + X changes the wire blend mode.

Hopefully that'll give you some ideas anyway, good luck!
