Entry: 24 Game - A1133092
Author: TanisNikana - U227802

I held a contest with this game once...

Good entry, well written

I think a couple of examples with solutions would be benificial, and I think it would be better if the URL at the bottom was linked or possible just referenced.

I'll have to manually find the solutions.

Hi, TN

Just because this is h2g2, I though I'd suggest that you mention the similarities between 24 and our own 42-isms.

My researcher number is: 227087, therefore:
227087 = ( -2 + ( 2 + 7 ) * 0 + 8 ) * 7 = 42
Or,:
227087 = ( 2 ( SQRT( 2 + 7 ) + ( 0 ^ 8 ))) * 7 = 42

I'm not certain it is required here, but I kept the numerals in their proper order. I understand that in 24 you can mix them up.

Hi there Tanis and co,

sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but there is already an edited entry on this subject at A933121.

But take that as an indication that you have the right idea and find yourself another subject. Consider doing a quick h2g2 search on the title first to avoid this problem with future entries.

I do think you ought to remove this from peer review, though. sorry.

Having said all that, this entry will still come up early in the results of a search and therefore provides a curious searcher with a perfectly valid alternative description of the game.

all the best with your next effort; what's it gonna be?

Aargh. Alright, I'll get rid of it...

This still seems to be in PR TanisNikana Whatever you did to remove it from PR hasn't worked.

Good luck with describing some other puzzle game (I've done a couple)

Pimms

If you're having difficulty removing this from PR, TanisNikana, I can ask the italics to remove it for you.

I showed my son this game after I was spook's entry on it. It's a neat game!

Could you, please?

Is this being moved then?

Yeah.

Tanis? Are you still planning on moving this?

I'll e-mail for a move back to entry.
