Hint (if you need it)
I would make this a WORKING poll but I canāt figure it out (itās too HARD!) 
(Working solution found. See below.)

4!=4Ć3Ć2Ć1=24
Is this something math people know without looking it up?

Statement depends on if ā!ā is factorial or Boolean NOT. Need some spacing.

True. Could be correct-ish (if the second āequalsā condition is separated) both ways:
4 != 4 Ć 3 Ć 2 Ć 1 
or 4 != 24
4! = 4 Ć 3 Ć 2 Ć 1 or 4! = 24
Definitely the spacing makes a difference.

This is too long ā and thereās only 20: the max Discourse allows.
I could provide maybe four from which to choose. But which four? I would probably just throw-a-dart it.

What would a math gal do? 
(I may be more like a math gal than a math guy, Iām thinking, but have no idea, really. Maybe I should ask @dave27[1] )
(or @StopICU33 , I havenāt seen them in a while.

(@towelkingdom is math-ish, at least, and often game )
(@carverofchoice has been known to calculate. )
(@bam slams the universe, as I recall.

My grandkids have been holding me hostage.

School them on the Geneva Convention. You have (soft) rights.
Ah, well, another day at the talking to myself (as @habib puts it.) Til later, Ć¼bermenschen.
Clearly, not everything works. Offense risked but not intended. Apologies to one and all. 
Yeah, mostly with Excel or programming.
For complicated stuff, Iāll either ask my wife (who has a masterās in Math), or have an AI program a complex calculation [in Python].

For whatever itās worth, I like to ask Wolfram|Alpha about mathy stuffs.

I worry that if the big beautiful plan goes awry, power goes out and stays out and we have to pull answers out of ourā¦ memory, unassisted, there may be nothing there.
Or more probably, not enough.
Back to knowing knowses, I thought, do I or did I know or can I conjure it on the fly without consulting the beast (search assistant is as far as I go and not always) and I came up with ānoā and ānoā and āmaybeā but wasnāt compelled enough to tackle it, was more interested in non-math aspects of the post, so relented and hereās what the beast spewed out.
[I lost it. Maybe Iāll find it again, I donāt know.]
I knew I could ask it to choose four instances āintelligentlyā and it would return something I would assume was informed but that I wouldnāt critique and thereās the rub.
The more you use it the less you critique it. Itās the expert, youāre not. Itās inevitable.
Weāve delegated the load to our electronic appendages (and infrastructure) as if theyāll always be there.
Maybe we should remember things natively, too.
Why not.

By the way, when I cut the Beatlesā noses from their Rubber Soul and rearranged them I didnāt keep track so I didnāt have a ākey.ā Would you have done that?
I later took the test myself and feel confident Iāve got it right but who nose?
Iāve been wrong before.

I have Wolfram Alpha but donāt use it much. My formal math education went as far as Algebra, basic geometry, Statistics, and programming logic.
I never really learned Trig, Calculus, etc 
Conventional Math classes were difficult for me to get through with my ADHD. Basically every single one of them gave pointless homework to do the same formula dozens of times with little to no real world use case. The excessive pointless redundancy is death to ADHD motivation. I learned a lot better using it in programming and Excel settings where it actually did something useful and observable.

That is very sad to hear. 
For example, when teaching factorials in probability and statistics class, the teacher should have started the class with a common problem in plain English, like using one die, progress to two dice, then a deck of cards, and end with playing the lottery. Then show how you just learned factorials in math-ese.
