Description

To learn about 24game, visit http://www.24game.com/ 24game is essentially a game in which cards [each with 4 numbers] are put up for play. Using the divide, subtract, add, and multiply operators, and each of the numbers only once, one must evaluate an expression to yield 24. Cards can range from single to triple dot, with single being the easiest, and triple being the hardest. My aim is to create a piece of software that can rapidly solve even the toughest cards [in the range of 0.5-1.5 seconds]. If a solution is not present, the program should output "No Solution." I am undertaking this project for contribution to the mathematical community of 24game, as well as to be a tool for those individuals practicing for such competitions. I hope the FreshBrain community will appreciate and enjoy the labor and its fruits!
