An equation can't "equal" something. An equation is two things that are equal to each other. What you really want is an EXPRESSION that equals 33, right?

I'm a little unsure if there is a way to get 33 using four 4's and standard arithmetic operations. A simple way uses six 4's:

4%2A4+%2B+4%2A4+%2B+4%2F4+=+33

The closest I got involved five 4's:

4%21+%2B+%28sqrt%284+-+4%2F4%29%29%5E4+=+33

Play around with it, see if you can do it using four of them.
