Here is something for you guys:
U've got 4 numbers and they are : 1,2,4 and 6. Use these numbers once in order to give 24 as the answer by subtracting, multiplying, dividing and adding them.
Gudluck!
Ah you can't all four operators on only four numbers
eg 1+2-4*6 I don't have a fifth digit to place the fourth operator before.
If however I can use any subset of operators:
-1+2 x 4x6|
That actually gives an answer of 47....
Ah, sorry dad, I forgot the brackets and unlike carditel I kept the numbers in order
(-1+2)X4X6
ok ... (4*6) / (-1+2) ... pretty simple huh?

Ambiguity - the curse of clear thought.
With my editor's cap on, compare:
Use these numbers once in order to give 24 as the answer
Use these numbers once to give 24 as the answer
Editor's cap off.
