If I can tweak the argument to get a related quantity less than 2, I am within spitting distance of combinatorial proof of. a theorem of Sylvester.

| May 31, 2020 at 2:35 | comment | added | Will Sawin | Your rough back-of-the-envelope asymptotic calculations suggest the limit is $e$, right? I think these calculations, unless you did them in a very strange way, are already a proof. | |
| May 31, 2020 at 2:31 | comment | added | Will Sawin | Don't you just want to plug an effective form of the prime number theorem into Stirling's formula here? | |
| May 31, 2020 at 2:16 | comment | added | Gerhard Paseman | I think it is upper bounded by 4 using a rough approximation to the prime counting function. I would appreciate verification. Gerhard "Worth An Acknowledgement To Me" Paseman, 2020.05.30. | |
