24 is a Registered Trademark! 
That's got to be the most bizarre trademark I've ever seen - you can't have a trademark on a number now (hence why Intel's 586 was renamed to "Pentium"), but somehow this one got away with it... is it old enough or something?
Well, it's all a bit 
y to me. Does anyone know why this particular lot got away with it?

Eh - aren't we already playing this game all over h2g2? Except we try to end up with 42 instead of 24, of course!
42!

Where did you hear that it was a trademark? That would mean that anyone who used the number 24 for anything else (ie counting) would be in breach of the trademark...
42!

is this a Registered Trademark cos of the game, or the TV show (season two starts next week, yay!)?
42!

I just followed the link to http://www.math24.com/ and noticed all the (R) symbols everywhere!
I think they should get round to suing the TV show, then

42 is a reference to the works of Douglas Adams who wrote the Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy radio play, books, tv series, and screen play. Douglas Adams, along with others, set this site up.
42 is the answer to Life the Universe and Everything.
