Last Chance 2024 Puzzle!

As 2024 comes to a close, this is truly my last chance to share this.  I created it a year ago but forgot to post it, so here it is now.  Stay tuned for the 2025 New Year's puzzle coming next week!

This is a moderately challenging puzzle made using the numbers 2, 4, and 24.  The shape of the clue tells you whether the product of the numbers in those cells is bigger than, equal to, or less than 24.  In addition, the asterisk tells us that those numbers are 2 or 4 apart from each other.  Asterisks are placed wherever possible.  Thus, lack of an asterisk also reveals some information.

A similar New Year's puzzle of mine appeared in Math Horizons magazine and is available for free here.   A high quality PDF version of this puzzle and solution can be found below.
