Problem
If 
is an even positive integer, the 
notation 
represents the product of all the even integers from 
to . For example, 
. What is the units digit of the following sum? ![\[2!! + 4!! + 6!! + \cdots + 2018!! + 2020!! + 2022!!\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/6/b/7/6b7552c1c8d367a79bf701d4631efea748362631.png)
Solution
Notice that once 
the units digit of will be 
because there will be a factor of 
Thus, we only need to calculate the units digit of ![\[2!!+4!!+6!!+8!! = 2+8+48+48\cdot8.\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/7/e/2/7e269223baea7ee3fc6200b9d06bb91f0c38b27e.png)
We only care about units digits, so we have 
which has the same units digit as 
The answer is
