It is the trivial case, b = exp(log(n!)/n) 30! = 12.04449703813164.... ** 30 It's leading on to the next part: "What’s interesting is that b is very nearly a linear function of n. In hindsight it’s clear that this should be the case—it follows easily from Stirling’s approximation—but I didn’t anticipate this before I plotted it."
