The answer is e=2.718128.
The proof is n^2=e^n.logn, so the root of the highest number chosen whatever if is n, then other numbers will converge on to e as you reach the first number from the last. This will be something like 1+ 1/2!+1/3!+.........=e

hint:
use a variable such as n
and define a recursive
function that gives the
same expression.

then find the limit of the
series as n approaches infinity
