FORMULA
Asymptotic behavior: The n-th term T(n) is always larger than n! / (8*n^2) = (n-1)! / 8n; for large n, it is approximated by that value. Stated as formula: T(n) > (n-1)! / 8n; lim 8n * T(n) / (n-1) = 1 as n tends to infinity.

EXTENSIONS
Terms for n=1..8 from A. P. Street and R. Day; other terms computed by Matthias Engelhardt. For n=9..12, he used a program which shifts, rotates and mirrors permutations. Terms for n=13..29 computed with a Java program implementing the formulas.
