This is a riddle to relieve tension from birds and buildings. No points. I'm going to give this a point because when I asked the person who told me the riddle about negative numbers, he didn't have an answer, so at this point, I don't have the answer either.

Create the number 24 using only these numbers once each: 3, 3, 7, 7. You may use only the following functions: +, -, *, /. This is not a trick question; for example, the answer does not involve a number system other than base 10 and does not allow for decimal points.

(3 * 7) + 3

Or do you have to use the extraneous 7?

commendation for original thinking

after some brute force equationing, i now have the answer......woohoo.

I have it too. Hooray for us.

sweet!

just the albatross to go now.....
