%N Total number of inversions in all permutations of order n consisting of a single cycle.
%C The formula trivially follows from the observation that every pair of elements i<j forms an inversion in exactly (binomial(n,2)-n+j-i)*(n-3)! single-cycle permutations. - _Max Alekseyev_, Jan 05 2018
%C a(n) is the number of ways to partition a (n+1)X(n+1) square, with the upper left hand corner missing, into ribbons of size n, see Alexandersson, Jordan. - _Per W. Alexandersson_, Jun 02 2020

%e a(3) = 4 because the cyclic 3-permutations: (1,2,3), (1,3,2) written in one line (sequence) notation: {2,3,1}, {3,1,2} have 2 + 2 = 4 inversions.
