Wouldn't that be (90*89)/5 ? (90*89)/5=1602, btw)
Without games my life would have no meaning.
Well, I guess it would, but it would be a lot less fun!!!!!!!

Acutally, HK-47 was right, I was just trying to see if anyone would get it wrong :P

Also Gamelver, 90!*5 would be (90*89*88*......3*2*1)*5. Aren't you glad I left out all the extra numbers in the middle? :P
