Yes you're right teachers can be real bastards. Giving a problem of this difficulty to somebody who would struggle with a "hello world" program is just incomprehensible.
Not only is it a tricky computational problem, but the maths is very awkward. Working out the coeffs of n(n-1)(n-2)... is a project in itself.
