I'm trying different operations with 12, 12, 11, and 3. Testing subtraction and division to get 24, but no luck yet. Progressing through each number uniquely.
Charting new paths
I’m exploring combinations like (12 + 12) / (11 - 3) and (12 - 11/3), but they don't hit 24. What if the factorial concept comes into play?
Trying multiplication strategies
I’m experimenting with multiplication examples like 11 + 3 and 12 * 3. They don't lead to 24, but I’ll keep refining my approach to find the right solution.
Adjusting my approach
I’m combining operations like (12 / (12-11)) * 3 - 12, which successfully equalizes to 24. This iterative method reveals the complexity and potential of the problem.
