There's a few solutions with n=0 (if you want to count these)

    0! + 0! + 0·0  =  1²
    1! + 0! + 1·0  =  1²
    4! + 0! + 4·0  =  5²
    5! + 0! + 5·0  =  11²
    7! + 0! + 7·0  =  71²
    (Possibly more)

Can Wilson theorem utilize for it? Becouse all n^(2)=0 or 1 (mod 3)... We need to determinet m is prime or not. Becouse system is simmetric so no matter what we chose for test.

Unfortunately this is one of the hardest types of problems: hard to find another solution and hard to prove there are no more solutions.
