Although it appears that

$s = execute("$$v = 8.0/(3.0-8.0/3.0)") equals 24 try this:
code:
$s = execute("$$v = 8.0/(3.0-8.0/3.0)") 
? $v
if $v=24
   ? "hey this equals 24"
else
   ? "wait a minute - this does not equal 24"
endif
My code found this combination but did not see it as the correct answer.
