Create the number 24 using only these numbers once each: 3, 3, 7, 7. You may use only the rules of addition, multiplication and division.

(In reply to no brackets by Jack Squat)

Unfortunately, your statement "Now multiply that by 7" uses brackets implicitly. Standard order of operations without brackets would only allow the 3 to be multiplied by 7, not the whole 3/7 + 3.
