I have lost track of the standings so far and am reposting my current score considering most of the previous discussion.

Numbers = 1, 2, 3, 4
Please doublecheck your solution to guarantee a correct result
(1.0+2.0+3.0)*4.0 = 24

Numbers = 2, 2, 6, 8
Please doublecheck your solution to guarantee a correct result
(2.0+6.0)+8.0*2.0 = 24

Numbers = 4, 4, 6, 6
Correct answer answer, there is no solution to this combination

Numbers = 3, 3, 8, 8
Please doublecheck your solution to guarantee a correct result
8.0/(3.0-8.0/3.0) = 24

Numbers = 0, 5, 9, 5
No solution found
<> 24

Numbers = 3, 4, 7, 7
Please doublecheck your solution to guarantee a correct result
(3.0+4.0*7.0)-7.0 = 24

My code is using 5 different sets of "()", checking all permutation of operators, and all permutations of numbers.

If anyone can prove that more "()"'s are needed, I can add a set of "()"'s with 6 strokes.

I still need to optimize a little.
