Give me a few values for f(n) (just list them: f(0) = ?, f(6) = ? and so
on) for which you can be *certain* than f is not O(n^2).

You seem to be saying that f(5) = 125, f(6) =
808281277464764060643139600456536293376 means that f can't be O(n^2) but
that's not so.  You can no idea what happens for n > 6.  f might even be
O(1).
