Yes, just use 4 based operations ( + - x / )Ã, but

Ok, then this:
8/3*8+3=24.3333333 round down to 24
matter of fact...just about any way I can think of ends up with a .333333 decimal...lol
at least i got close
What a lot of folks come up with is 8ÃÆ'ââ,¬â€8ÃÆ'Ã,·3+3 which produces the same result yours does.
Check out that link. It is good stuff.
Well, it is good stuff if you like math. :D
:uglystupid2: = yours truly.
Writing I can do, simple everyday math, like how much I have left in my checking account and what's my credit card limit is, this I know. :2funny:
