Other Comments:

I've used the "24" game with my students and math club extensively; this is a great alternative that kids can use at home. This version could be even more game-like, and therefore more engaging to students, if there was a specific cell for the students to work out the problem, then press enter to see if they correctly got to 24. If this cell was pre-formatted so the text was as large as the given numbers, it would be an effective whole-class game with a projector.
