    You have to create the # 24 using only the numbers "3, 7, 3, 7" once each.

    Only the basic math functions: "-, +, /, *".

    It's not atrick question, for example, the answer does not involve a numbersystem other than base 10 and does not allow for decimal points or anything like that.

    So use google or your mind to find the answer for $10.35 lol.

    GO GO!

    EDIT:
    That1chic and Jroth won.

    LOL, that one is easy.

    Same type of problem, but use "3, 3, 8, 8" to make, again, 24.

    Exact same rules. You can use -, +, /, or *. You can also use parentheses.

    Two more solutions (assuming I'm allowed to do these operations):

    1) sqrt(8x8x3x3) = sqrt (576) = 24

    2) 3! x 8 - (3x8) = 6 x 8 - 24 = 48 - 24 = 24
