using 6,4,3,1 produce 24.
conditions:
1)use all the digits(6,4,3,1)only once.
2)use only +,-,/,* without repetition(may not use all).
3)you cannot combine digits( e.g. 6 & 4 don't make 64).
(6x4) - (3+1) = 20, which is 24 in octal (base 8),
but perhaps that's cheating
^^ Didn't you repeat the dividing sign? Though I don't know of any solution other than the above...
Yep - I guess I overlooked that constraint.
