19. If 2! means 2*3 and 3! means 3*4, what does 7!+8! mean?

A. 56
B. 128
C. 392
D. 448
E. 45360

This better not happen on the real SAT :-)

Hehe

Those are some of the simplest questions ... AFTER someones explains how the symbols questions work. I remember spending a few hours searching the web to find one the dumb symbol significance. Then I realize how dumb the question was. :)
