Got it. I used both the factorial and square root function.

From your description, I'd say you've done it.

If I use a factorial to get to 720, multiply by .1 and add 1, I get there also without running afoul of digits. Agreed??

Well, I would say that .(0!) to get .1 is breaking the rules.

The solution I had in mind was:
sqrt((8 - 0!)! + 0!) + 2
