I would call that one, unhelpful cheating.
([: +/@:! 10 #. inv ])^:(1454) 3

If we're allowed to re-arrange the words, there are exactly 10 ways to
produce the same result:
+/ (-:"1 {.)@:(". ::_:"".) (A.~ i.@:!@:#)&.;: 'SumOfFact^:3 (169)'
10
HINT: There's something special about the results of this particular
sentence, so you may not agree with all the "equivalent" sentences.

There's at least two other ways of doing it, if you allow the words to be
reordered.
Thanks,
