By chance I came across this curious identity
involving the Pascal-triangle.
Assume a row n, say n=4 and the column n, combined
each weighted with the running factorial as in the example:
1/0! + 4/1! + 10/2! + 20/3! + 35/4! + ... weighted col-sum
ratio = ----------------------------------------- -------------------
1/0! + 4/1! + 6/2! + 4/3! + 1/4! weighted row-sum
then
ratio = e (=exp(1))
The actual sums are the entries of A002720
