I was taking it to mean "what is 24?"
And the answer to that question is 4*3*2*1, among other things.... :)
Back in the days when a mainframe with a total of 8K 16-bit words of
magnetic core memory was the biggest thing I had available, I wasted a bit
of time programming it to calculate exact values up to 25!
That should read "2500!"
, which, with iirc 7412 digits, was the largest one I could squeeze into
the amount of memory available (the OS took up about 2K of that memory).
