%N Number of inefficient arrangements in A373182, where inefficient means that the maximum number of persons that a seating arrangement can hold is not achieved.

%C The maximum number of persons that can be seated in the arrangements in A373182 in n seats is ceiling(n/2).

%C The seatings here are maximal in the sense that no additional person can be seated without breaking the condition in A373182, but maximum seatings are excluded.

%C The ratio a(n)/A373182(n) -> 1 as n -> infinity (at a much slower initial rate for even n).

%F a(n) = A373182(n) - (ceiling((n+1)/2))!.

%e a(5)=6 are the following seatings, where _ denotes an empty seat. Seatings of 3 people are the maximum for n=5 and those are not included.

%e 1 _ _ 2 _

%e _ 1 _ 2 _

%e _ 1 _ _ 2

%e _ 2 _ 1 _

%e 2 _ _ 1 _

%e _ 2 _ _ 1.

%e For n=9 seats the maximum number of persons that can be seated is 5, hence examples of inefficient arrangements are:

%e 3 _ 2 _ 1 _ _ 4 _

%e _ 3 _ _ 1 _ _ 2 _.
