The setup

1) Each player secretly chooses two numbers from 1 to 10 and writes them down.
2) All four numbers are revealed simultaneously.


How to play

1) Players compete to reach the number 24 using the four numbers.
2) You may use addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and brackets.
3) All four numbers must be used exactly once.
4) The first player to call out a correct solution wins the round.


How to win

1) Win a round by being the first to solve it.
