1. PIE is inefficient for large numbers of sets because it gets exponentially larger, which becomes slow. [seq(Pnx(n,x),n=1..7)] is equal to [seq(PnxF(n,x),n=1..7)] time([seq(PnxF(n, x),n=1..8)]) is less than time([seq(Pnx(n,x),n=1..8)]) time([seq(Pnx(n,x),n=1..8)]) = .328 and time([seq(PnxF(n,x),n=1..8)]) = 0 Pnx(n,x) takes longer. 2. D(n) represents the number of permutations of the n objects with 0 fixed points, or the number of derangements of n objects. This must be constant, since it is fixed. 3. i=0: A000166 i=1: A182390 i=2: A000387 i=3: Does not exist i=4: Does not exist i=2 is the largest for which there is a sequence 4. d(n)=(n-1)*(d(n-1)+d(n-2))
