24 Points is a puzzle game. It is a math game that uses addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and bracket operations to calculate 4 integers (usually positive integers) so that the final calculation result is 24. 24 Points can test people's intelligence and mathematical sensitivity, and it can improve people's mental arithmetic ability in the game.

24 points is usually played with playing cards. After removing the queens and queens from a deck, there are 52 cards left (if you are just starting out, you can just use the 40 cards from 1 to 10). Pick 4 cards at random (called a deck), and use addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division (with brackets) to add the numbers on the cards to 24. Each card can only be used once. For example, if the cards you pick are 3, 8, 8, and 9, then the formula is (9-8)×8×3 or 3×8÷(9-8) or (9-8÷8)×3, etc.

Game Tips

"Counting 24 Points" is a poker intelligence game, and you should pay attention to the skills in the calculation. For example, when calculating, you cannot try different combinations of the 4 numbers on the card, and you can't just randomly mix them up. Here are some common methods that are easy to learn and master:

1. Use 3×8=24, 4×6=24, 12×2=24 to solve.

Try to make the four numbers on the card into 3 and 8, 4 and 6, 12 and 2, and then multiply them to find the solution. For example, 3, 3, 6, 10 can form (10-6÷3)×3=24 or (10-3-3)×6=24. For example, 2, 3, 3, 7 can form (7+3-2)×3=24. Practice has proved that this method has the highest utilization rate and the highest hit rate.

2. Solve using the arithmetic properties of 0 and 1.

For example, 3, 4, 4, 8 can form 3×8+4-4=24, etc. Another example is 4, 5, J, K can form 11×(5-4)+13=24, etc.
