$\lim_{k\to\infty}{n\choose k}2^{1-{k\choose2}}$, where $n=\max\{n\in\mathbb{N}:{n\choose k}...

Let $N(k) = \max \{n \in \mathbb N: \; {n \choose k} 2^{1-{k\choose 2}} < 1 \}$. Note that $$\frac{{n+1 \choose k}}{{n \choose k}} = \frac{n+1}{n+1-k}$$ so it suffices to prove that $N(k)/k \to \infty …
