COMMENTS
Faro permutations are permutations avoiding the three consecutive patterns 231, 321 and 312. They are obtained by a perfect faro shuffle of two nondecreasing words of lengths differing by at most one. Also the popularity of consecutive pattern 213.

FORMULA
G.f.: x*(-1+4*x^2+2*x+(1-2*x)*sqrt(1-4*x^2)) / ((1-2*x)*(1+sqrt(1-4*x^2))*sqrt(1-4*x^2)).
EXAMPLE
For n = 4, there are 6 faro permutations: 1234, 1243, 1324, 2134, 2143, 3142. They contain in total 4 consecutive patterns 132 and also 4 consecutive patterns 213.
PROG
