Find an nn such that n!−(n−1)!+(n−2)!−(n−3)!+⋯±1n!-(n-1)!+(n-2)!-(n-3)!+\cdots \pm 1 ! is prime. Be prepared to justify your answer for {n,[n+22510],n≤25\left\{\begin{array}{c}n, \\ {\left[\frac{n+225}{10}\right],} \\ n \leq 25\end{array}\right. points, where [N][N] is the greatest integer less than NN.
