    Actually thought they were asking 30 factorial! :roll:

    The actual question is half of factorial of 30 or half of this number:
    265252859812191058636308480000000
    which is:
    132626429906095529318154240000000

    It will take 3 minutes only to read out this number let alone for the calculation! This interview question may be asked if they are trying to find the best human mind calculator.

    Another good one!
    I would rather say it’s just simply 29!*15 :wink:
