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

    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,

    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
