%N a(n) is the number of preference profiles for n men and n women where every man prefers woman number 1 to woman number 2.
%C This is also the number of preference profiles for n men and n women where every woman prefers man number 1 to man number 2.
%C When implementing the men-proposing Gale-Shapley algorithm on such a preference profile, woman number 1 gets her first engagement in an earlier round than woman number 2.
%H Wikipedia, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gale%E2%80%93Shapley_algorithm">Gale-Shapley algorithm</a>.
%F a(n) = n!^(2n) / 2^n.
%e When n = 2, we have exactly 1 way to arrange each man's profiles such that woman number 1 is ranked before woman number 2. Each woman's profile can be set in 2! = 2 ways, so the total number of preference profiles such that every man prefers woman number 1 to woman number 2 is 1^2 * 2^2 = 4.
