GIVEN: [x] is the greatest EVEN integer less than or equal x
For example, [8.2] = 8, since 8 is the greatest even integer that is less than (or equal) to 8.2
Likewise, [-1.7] = -2, since -2 is the greatest even integer that is less than (or equal to) -1.7
And [-6.3] = -8, since -8 is the greatest even integer that is less than (or equal to) -6.3


Now onto the question....
[-2.4] + [-3.4] + [2.4] + [3.4] = (-4) + (-4) + 2 + 2 = -4
