COMMENT

Number of invertible shuffles of n-2 cards. - Adam C. McDougall (mcdougal(AT)stolaf.edu) and David Molnar )molnar(AT)stolaf.edu), Apr 09, 2002

If Y is a 3-subset of an n-set X then, for n>=3, a(n-2) is the number of (n-3)-subsets of X which have neither one element nor two elements in common with Y. - Milan R. Janjic (agnus(AT)blic.net), Dec 28 2007
