%N A264040 Number of possible permutations of the n X n generalization of the sliding block 15-puzzle.
%C A264040 For n > 1, of the permutations that can be reached by disassembling the puzzle and replacing the tiles, exactly half of them can be reached by sliding the tiles.

%F A264040 a(1) = 1; a(n) = (n^2)!/2 for n > 1.
%e A264040 a(4) = 10461394944000 because the standard 4 X 4 version of the 15-puzzle has exactly 10461394944000 permutations that can be reached by sliding the tiles.
