It has been a while since I have to deal with problem complexities in college, is there even class of problems that would require something like this, or is there a proven upper limit/can this be simplified? I don't think I've ever seen O(n!^k) class of problems.

Hmm, iirc non-deterministic turing machines should be able to solve most problems, but I'm not sure we ever talked about problems that are not NP. Are there such problems? And how is the problem class even called?

Oh, right, you also have EXP and NEXP. But that's the highest class on wiki, and I can't find if it's proven that it's enough for all problems. Is there a FACT and NFACT class?
