Posting this here cuz ppl here are smart

At least, I hope you are...help me with this riddle!

Using the numbers 3, 3, 8, 8 (in any order), make a mathematical expression that equals 24. You can use only addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division (and parentheses), but in any order you wish. Note that you have to use all four numbers; otherwise 3 times 8 would be valid -- and that wouldn't be much of a puzzle, would it?

I'll move it to Chit Chat.

Is sticking two numbers together allowed? i.e. using 38 or 83

Re: Posting this here cuz ppl here are smart

is it only integers?

8*3+(3/8)

Re: Posting this here cuz ppl here are smart

is it only integers?

8*3+(3/8)

I seriously, seriously, seriously doubt that's allowed.

8/(3-(8/3)) = 24

Took about 30 minutes of thinking and messing around with a piece of paper. I guess that year I took in maths and almost flunked was worth it haha.
