Awww Man!
Well, I forgot to mention that posting the trick and answer in a public chat voided it, and then someone did that so....
Yeah, this one's dead. Two submissions in two days, not bad compared to the last one.
Anyways, here's the problem explained:
gamma(twenty-three) = gamma(ten+seven) = 16! = 20,922,789,888,000
The trick was that twenty-three wasn't 23, but 20-3.
Nice try, YouCantWin, but 22! wasn't it XD

Well, I can only suggest more difficult, more clear, and more rewarding challenges. I REALLY need something to occupy my time. (Currently reduced to working on a Java app [text editor] that uses wastefully strong encryption and unneccessary steganography... =\ Nothing like being bored to inspire random interests.)
Ah, I just recently coded
Ah, I just recently coded most of an encrypt/decrypt-er in Java.
Well...
Part of the point on this one was that the *trick* was somewhat counter-intuitive ;D
Anyways, I'll start working on a new one ^_^
