Lost thread (5, 5, 5, 4 = 24)

[MOHH]

hey fella's


there was a post here recently, which i can't find, that asked to come up with the answer 24 only using the numbers 5, 5, 5, and 4 as well as only using each *, /, +, - operators only once. I can't seem to find it, and i was just curious if there was a solution posted.

thanks,
Sherlock Holmes :)

anywayz the answer is (5-1/5)*5=24

Mr. Polite, you seemed to have replied to this thread then deleted your reply (I got email notification)! whats your big idea? :D

MOHH, are you sure it was (5,5,5,4)?
Bugz's post was (5,5,5,1)
However, if you want the solution to (5,5,5,4), it is:
4*(5+5/5)=24
