Problem1

Let $\overline{ab}$ be a 2-digit positive integer satisfying $\overline{ab}^2$ = $a! +b!$. Find $a+b$ .

Solution 1 by ddk001

we have

\[10a+b=a!+b!\]

Obviously, the left increase much slower for big $a$ and $b$ so $a$ and $b$ must be small. (Namely, $a!+b!<100 \implies a,b<5$) $a=b=4$ don't work so $a!+b! \le 3!+4!=30$, so since $a,b<5$, the max of $a!+b!$ is $24$, which didn't work so $a,b<4$. since the max now would be $12=3!+3!$, and that doesn't work, the max is now $2!+3!=8$, which is not a 2-digit integer. Hence, no such ordered pair $(a,b)$ exist. ~Ddk001

Problem2

For any positive integer $n$, $n$>1 can $n!$ be a perfect square? If yes, give one such $n$. If no, then prove it.
