The wordings "Inspired by Calvin Lin" gives you a hint that it is somehow related to his name if not himself. If you pay close attention then number of letters in the series and Calvin Lin's name are equal, and then after a bit of thought you may realize that if we assign a =2 ,b = 3,........,y = 26, z = 27 then the series can be a random permutation of these numbers Which means that 13,15 and 10 (abbreviations for 'i','l','n') must occur twice, but this is only possible when these are the values of A,B and C.

Hence our final answer becomes 13 * 15 * 10 = 1950
