Clever, and good eye to recognize the pattern, which I did not. Though, I have become re-acquainted with the AUR as a result of this challenge.

I was looking for some form of the PI (Product) function, since this is also PI, for i, 0 to 2 of (x + i) / (1 + i), though even if I found it, the formula still needed more bytes than 20.

Still, educational and fun, so thanks for that Joe.

For those interested, John Meyer wrote-up a very interesting PI solution, here.
