F'd up number puzzle

Saw this and couldn't resist sharing....

What is the next number in the sequence

1, 1, 1, 1, ?

===Function and answer are below this line (select with your mouse to see it)===

If we let the function f be

f(n) = (41/24)(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)(n-4) 1
then we have

f(1) = 1
f(2) = 1
f(3) = 1
f(4) = 1
f(5) = 42

===Function and answer are above this line (select with your mouse to see it)===

And I don't think school, in general, taught us that "What is the next number in this sequence" really has no valid answer without knowing the function.

That's fucking cheating. You can't make an educated answer without more information. With only the information given the answer was 1.
