Some Thoughts numeric approximation | Comment 1 of 2
I was hoping a numeric approximation would help identify the solution but I couldn't relate what I found with a closed form solution.

I found f(10,000) to be 0.6322235834032078
This was slightly smaller than f(1,000), , suggesting convergence.

The numerator should be:
n * (n^n - 1)/(n-1)

The denominator should be a polynomial which is one degree more than the numerator, suggesting convergence.

That's as far as I got
--------
def f(n):
    num=0
    den=0
    for i in range(1,n+1):
        num += n**i
        den += i**n
    return num/den

for n in range(1,20):
    print(f(n))
