 Given four numbers drawn from a set of poker cards, the intellectual challenge is to combine them with operators so that the result is 24. In Krypto, 5 numbers from 1 to 25 are chosen, and a target number from 1 to 25 must be reached. Notebooks krypto and point24 reflect an initial study of the problem. The author: "I happened to read Don Piele's Mathematica Pearl Vol.3, No.2 (the first one downloadable from his webpage). There it is--Stan Wagon's bracketing code, though for another problem, solved the grouping problem elegantly." The notebook yaPoint24.nb (yet another Point24) reflects the best version so far.
