%C If one randomly selects a ball from an urn containing n different balls, with replacement, until exactly one ball has been selected twice, the probability that that ball was also the first ball selected once is a(n)/n^n. See also A000435. - _Matthew Vandermast_, Jun 15 2004

%C a(n) equals the permanent of the (n-1)X(n-1) matrix with n+1's along the main diagonal and 1's everywhere else. - _John M. Campbell_, Apr 20 2012
