How to make 24 with the numbers 21, 20, 22, and 6 each once using only addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division? If only the number 22 was replaced with 23 I could do that, but how can I do it with the given numbers?

Never mind, I get it. It's 21 + 6 : (22 - 20). Can't believe I am this stupid.

How about:

\(\displaystyle 21+\frac{6}{22-20}=24\)
