Thanks a lot. I'm still new into complicated calculus.
Are you human or robot?????

Obviously a human :P. I'm new to high level calculus.
This is a great problem! I loved solving it.
So we have to decode this murder weapon -
∫ 0 ∞ t ( e t − 1 ) e − ( 2 4 r − 2 4 ) t − ( 2 4 r − 2 4 ) e − t − 1 + ( 2 4 r − 2 4 ) d t
Let's consider the following integral
I ( n ) = ∫ 0 ∞ t ( e t − 1 ) e − n t − n e − t − 1 + n d t
I ′ ( n ) = ∫ 0 ∞ t ( e t − 1 ) − t e − n t − e − t + 1 d t
I ′ ( n ) = ∫ 0 ∞ ( t e − t − e t − 1 e − n t ) d t
I ′ ( n ) = ∫ 0 ∞ ( t e − t − 1 − e − t e − ( n + 1 ) t ) d t
Now, this is probably Aditya Kumar 's favorite integral - he was really excited about it when he posted it. It simply evaluates to
I ′ ( n ) = ψ ( n + 1 ) , the digamma function
∫ 0 n I ′ ( n ) d n = ∫ 0 n ψ ( n + 1 ) d n
I ( n ) = ln ( Γ ( n + 1 ) )
and I ( 2 4 r − 2 4 ) = ln ( Γ ( 2 4 r − 2 4 + 1 ) )
= ln ( Γ ( 2 4 r ) )
and
r = 1 ∏ 2 3 Γ ( 2 4 r ) = 2 4 ( 2 π ) 2 3
@Aditya Kumar Brilliant problem! And as far as I can guess, you must have made it from back, right?
I really am regretful that I didn't work on this problem a month before when I first saw it, I just didn't have the courage, lol.

Yes that's, true! Not exactly from back but from middle. I wanted to make a problem that came down to log(gamma(x)). But then I saw your note. So I brought it to that form. Ur solution is awesome!

Thanks! It is essentially the same as yours. I was really excited after solving it. Thanks again for the problem!

The proof of the last step can be seen from here .
