The key to this problem is what operations are permitted. Was that ever explicitly stated? "Mathematical operations" covers a very wide territory.
Here is a solution using Boolean operations and the factorial. ~ means "not" here. ((~0) + (~0) + (~0) + (~0))! ~0 is 1, and the rest quickly follows. |
