The answer in the comic is correct. It's just written in a way to make you as the reader think he's got it wrong for a second.

The ! operator in mathematics indicates a function called a factorial. Four factorial, or 4! = 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 24. Which is the correct answer if you follow the proper order of operations.
