%N A038205 Number of derangements of n where minimal cycle size is at least 3.
%C A038205 Permutations with no cycles of length 1 or 2.
%C A038205 Related to (and bounded by) "derangements" (A000166). Minimal cycle size 
               3 is interesting because of its physical analog. Consider a fully-connected 
               network of n nodes where the objects stored at the nodes must derange 
               but can't do so in such a way that any two objects would collide 
               along the connecting "pipe" between their nodes.

%F A038205 a(n) = Sum C(n-1, i-1)(i-1)!a(n-i), i = 3 ... n. E.g.f.: exp(-x-x^2/2)/
               (1-x).
%e A038205 a(5) = 24 because, with a minimum cycle size of 3, the only way to derange 
               all 5 elements is to have them move around in one large 5-cycle. 
               The number of possible moves is (5-1)! = 4! = 24.
