<\/div><\/div><\/div>

24<\/strong> is a good game to practice your arithmetic. It is usually played by dealing four playing cards, but car license plates in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland are ideal for it.<\/p>\n

The aim is to make 24 using the set of numbers to the right of the plate. You can use addition, subtraction, division and multiplication, but you must use all of the digits.\u00a0 You\u2019ll be surprised how many of them can make up 24.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
