FORMULA

G.f.: x^3*((1-3*x+x^2)*sqrt(1-4*x)-1+5*x-x^2-6*x^3)/(1-7*x+14*x^2-9*x^3) [from the Stanley reference, Joerg Arndt, Apr 20 2011]

MAPLE

The Maple snippet provides an alternative solution to the Google congratulations puzzle at http://www.7427466391.com. After running the Maple code, f(1) to f(4) match the puzzle, with f(5) being 1510865746 and f(6) being 6171783928.

Digits:=2000: E:=evalf(exp(1)): g:=n->trunc((E-(10^(-n)*trunc(E*10^n)))*10^(10+n)): h:=[0, 0, 0, 0, 4, 22, 98, 412, 1700]: f:=k->g(h[k+3]):
