%N Number of paths through the subset array whose trace is a permutation of (1,2,...,n); see Comments.

%C See A208650. The trace of a path is a permutation of (1,2,...,n) if and only if the range of the path is {1,2,...,n}.

%e Taking n=3:

%e row 1: {1},{2},{3} ---------> 1,2,3

%e row 2: {1,2},{1,3},{2,3} ---> 1,1,2,2,3,3

%e row 3: {1,2,3} -------------> 1,2,3

%e 3 ways to choose a number from row 1,

%e 4 ways to choose a different number from row 2,

%e 1 way to choose remaining number from row 3.

%e Total: a(3) = 1*4*3 = 12 paths.
