24 Game
Encyclopedia : 2 : 24 : 24G : 24 Game
The 24 Game is a mathematics game in which the object is to find a way to manipulate four numbers so that the end result is 24. Each set of four numbers is found on a game card. In the original version, addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division could be used to make four digits from one to nine equal 24. For an example card with the numbers 4,7,8,8, a possible solution is the following: 8/8=1, 7-1=6, 6×4=24. There are currently nine official variations of the 24 Game. Robert Sun invented the 24 Game in 1988 and sold it through his company, Suntex International Inc. The tournament-style competition 24 Challenge is based on the 24 Game.
