Hi, anyone heard of the 24 number game. We used to play it in high school

Basically it works like this, you have 4 numbers from 1-9, and from those four numbers you have to make 24. You have to use all the numbers, and each number can be used once only. You can add, subtract, divide, or multiply

For example the four numbers can be

9 3 6 2

To make 24 from the above numbers, one method is

9/3 = 3

6+2 = 8

8*3= 24

Understand? remember you have to use all the numbers

Anyway i'll start off

2 7 4 8
