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

Salaam.

I remember this. How about:

4 x 7 = 28
8 / 2 = 4

28 - 4 - 24

[Mohsin]

Good stuff Akhi, its the method i had in mind

Your turn now bro, give us 4 numbers

[Z]

Salaam.

Ha, thanks bro. Numbers are:

1 2 3 4

[Mohsin]

Salaam.

Ha, thanks bro. Numbers are:

1 2 3 4

4*3 = 12

12*2 = 24

24*1=24


Okay 9 5 8 8

[Z]

Salaam.

9 - 5 = 4
4 x 8 = 32
32 - 8 = 24

Have 1 2 3 4 again.

Hey, this is just like Countdown!

...which I'm not very good at, but ho-hum.

[The Ruler]

2*4=8
8*3=24
24*1=24

how bout 8 2 6 3

[Mohsin]

2*4=8
8*3=24
24*1=24

how bout 8 2 6 3

8-2 = 6
6*3=18
18+6=24

9 - 5 = 4
4 x 8 = 32
32 - 8 = 24

Thats good stuff, i ahd another way though, try and get that

9 5 8 8

[The Ruler]

9 - 5 = 4
4 x 8 = 32
32 - 8 = 24

sum1 else can v ma go

[Mohsin]

9 - 5 = 4
4 x 8 = 32
32 - 8 = 24

sum1 else can v ma go

Sister, Brother Z already came up with that method, so i put em up again because i found another way

9 5 8 8

[The Ruler]

arrrgh i giv up....i even got ma calculator

[------]

**wrong equation soz**

[The Ruler]

8*8 = 64
64 - (9*5=40) = 24

Next . . . Ne1 can giv it lol i jst like solving it

i thought of solvin it da same way sis....but think bout it...is 9*5=40

think again

[Z]

Salaam.

Are we dealing with 9 5 8 8 here?

[------]

i thought of solvin it da same way sis....but think bout it...is 9*5=40

[Z]

Salaam.

I got it.

9 x 8 = 72
8 - 5 = 3
72 / 3 = 24

Give us another set of numbers please.

[The Ruler]

Salaam.

I got it.

9 x 8 = 72
8 - 5 = 3
72 - 3 = 24

Give us another set of numbers please.

r u sure ur alrite....72 - 3 = 24 r u sure

[------]

Salaam.

I got it.

9 x 8 = 72
8 - 5 = 3
72 - 3 = 24

Give us another set of numbers please.
