Hey friends!

Something that interested me this week
Phew, so glad to be getting this out the door. I have had such a crazy couple of weeks with family in town, big projects at work, and traveling. That being said, I hope you had a great couple of weeks and (if you celebrate it) a very happy Memorial Day!
In terms of what I've been interested in... I recently discovered the
Curta Calculator. It's a completely mechanical calculator from the World War II era, which is fascinating to me! They're super expensive online, so I'll have to just read schematics or something to learn more about it. My next project I'd like to build is some kind of mechanical calculator, even if it's just basic addition or something. I'm fascinated with how little machines like that work. Plus, with today's technology, I might have to try 3D printing some parts!

Interview question of the week
I didn't do the last letter's question, and none of you did either. Oops. Hope you can figure it out!
This week's question:
Given n, write a function that returns the sum of 1*1! + 2*2! + ... + n*n!
