| Comment 3 of 5 |

There are four quadruplets (A, B, C, D) of nonnegative integers with A < B < C, that satisfies the equation:
A! + B! + C! = 3^D

(0, 2, 3, 2)
0! + 2! + 3! = 3²
1 + 2 + 6 = 9
(1, 2, 3, 2)
1! + 2! + 3! = 3²
1 + 2 + 6 = 9
(0, 2, 4, 3)
0! + 2! + 4! = 3³
1 + 2 + 24 = 27
(1, 2, 4, 3)
1! + 2! + 4! = 3³
1 + 2 + 24 = 27
