• If you cant make 24 – How close can you get?
• Can you make 24 if you don’t use all the digits?

Additional rules you might like to use:

1. Use powers and roots Xy y√X (To raise something to a power the exponent (if needed) must also be present. For example, to square a number a 2 must be available. To take the cube root of a number a 3 must be available)
2. You may link adjacent numbers to form multi-digit numbers as long as the order is kept. For example: 1221 could become 12*2*1
3. You can use factorials ie 4! = 4*3*2*1 = 24

There are a few not-so-obvious “tricks” that you can do with moves 1. and 3.
