    Puzzle
    Given 26 constants labelled A to Z, let A = 1.

    The rest of the constants have values that are equal to the position of that letter in the alphabet, raised to the power of the previous constant, so:

    A = 1

    B (the letter in the second position) = 2^A = 2^1 = 2

    C (the letter in the third position) = 3^B = 3^2 = 9

    etc.

    Find the exact numerical value for this expression:

    (N-A) * (N-B) * (N-C) * … * (N-Y) * (N-Z)
