A few more than twenty days are remaining for Diwali

[tufguy]

Diwali will be here in 24 days or twenty four days to go until Diwali. Can we say "A few more than twenty days are remaining for Diwali?"

1. Diwali will be here in 24 days.

2. Twenty-four days to go until Diwali.

Can we say:
3. "A few more than twenty days are remaining for Diwali?"

Didn't I suggest, only yesterday, that you number sentences you are suggesting?

Sentence 1 is OK.
#2 is not a complete sentence. You need two words before "twenty-four".
Sentence 3 is completely incorrect.

There are 24 days to go until Diwali.

Can number three be amended?

That is OK.
