      That is this week's Car Talk Puzzler.  This is what i came up with:

      (4!-|sqrt(4)|)/(.4)  (an absolute value sign around the square route so the number is positive)

      Expanded to:

      ((4*3*2*1)-(2))/(.4)

      (24-2)/(.4)

      22/.4 (this is like 22*5/2)

      That equals 55
