Tough.

I'm assuming that it's still before 8:00 where you are, since it was past 9:00 here when you posted it.
((6*5/6)/(1/6))-6=24
I'll explain for those who cannot read it properly. 6 times 5/6 naturally equals 5. Dividing it by 1/6 is the same as multiplying by 6, so the entire thing in parentheses equals 30. Subtracting 6 makes 24.

6 divided by 1/6 multiplied by 5/6 minus 6 = 24

5/6 divided by 1/6 [which comes out 5] times 6 [which is 30] minus 6 [which is 24].
