%N A281259 Number of elements of S_n with strategic pile of size 6.
%C A281259 Strategic pile is as defined in A267323.
%C A281259 The formula given below is a specific instance of the formula that will appear in "Quantifying CDS Sortability of Permutations Using Strategic Piles", see link.

%F A281259 a(n) = (n-6)!*(120*binomial(n-7,5) + 576*binomial(n-7,4) + 1116*binomial(n-7,3) + 1080*binomial(n-7,2) + 540*binomial(n-7,1)) for n>7.
%e A281259 The permutation P = [3,5,1,8,6,2,7,4] has strategic pile of size 6. This can be found by the following cycle composition: (0,4,7,2,6,8,1,5,3)(0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8)=(0,5,8,4,3,7,1,6,2). Therefore, the strategic pile of P is {4,3,7,1,6,2}.
%Y A281259 Cf. A267323 (size 3), A267324 (size 4), A267391 (size 5).
