This one's not so tricky -- just really long and time-consuming.
Here's a hint. What's (x+a)? What's (x+a)(x+b)? What's (x+a)(x+b)(x+c)? What's (x+a)(x+b)(x+c)(x+d)?
Answer those four and you should see a trend.
Edit: I should add that you'd be crazy to tackle the full 26 by hand -- do you know enough programming to write a program to do this for you?
