%N A023998 Number of block permutations on an n-set which are uniform, i.e., corresponding blocks have same size.
%C A023998 Number of games of simple patience with n cards. Take a shuffled deck of n cards labeled 1..n; as each card is dealt it is placed either on a higher-numbered card or starts a new pile to the right. Cards are not moved once they are placed. Suggested by reading Aldous and Diaconis. - _N. J. A. Sloane_, Dec 19 1999
%C A023998 Number of set partitions of [2n] such that within each block the numbers of odd and even elements are equal. a(2) = 3: 1234, 12|34, 14|23; a(3) = 16: 123456, 1234|56, 1236|45, 1245|36, 1256|34, 12|3456, 12|34|56, 12|36|45, 1346|25, 1456|23, 14|2356, 14|23|56, 16|2345, 16|23|45, 14|25|36, 16|25|34. - _Alois P.

%e A023998 For n=3 there are 25 block permutations, of which 9 of the form ({1} maps to {1,2}; {2,3} maps to {3}), are not uniform. Hence a(3) = 25 - 9 = 16.
%e A023998 Alternatively, for n=3 the 6 permutations of 3 cards produce 16 games, as follows: 123 -> {1,2,3}; 132 -> {1,32}, {1,3,2}; 213 -> {21,3}, {2,1,3}; 231 -> {21,3}, {2,31}, {2,3,1}; 312 -> {31,2}, {32,1}, {3,1,2}; 321 -> {321}, {32,1}, {31,2}, {3,21}, {3,2,1}.
