I’m thinking through four cards (A=1, 5, 5, 5) for the 24 game. Initially, I try basic operations like subtraction and division but hit a dead end.
Testing new angles
I’m working through various arithmetic combinations, including multiplication and fractional manipulations, to reach 24. Eventually, I discover an expression using parentheses and a fraction: 5 * (5 - 1/5) = 24.
Confirming the method
I’m ensuring the accuracy of the expression (5 × (5 - A/5)) = 24. It efficiently incorporates all four cards and meets the rules of the 24 game.
