| That's nothing. Give us a harder problem.

Ok, try 1058 then :-).

| Stirling's formula works here, just look at the limit of the log
of the thing which is minus infinity when you substitute for the
factorial so the answer is zero.

Yep, that works, but there are simpler methods though. The reason
I posed it is because I like the neat trick. The trick is as follow:
take the log of that thing. Then you get
-(sum ln(k) /n) which is the minus of the average of ln(k) which goes
to oo. ==> the thing is 0.
