COMMENTS
How many ways are there of arranging the numbers 1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3, ...,n,n,n so that there is one number between the first and second 1's and one number between the second and third 1's; two numbers between the first and second 2's and two numbers between the second and third 2's; ... n numbers between the first and second n's and n numbers between the second and third n's?

EXAMPLE
For n=9 the a(9)=3 solutions, up to reversal of the order, are:
1 8 1 9 1 5 2 6 7 2 8 5 2 9 6 4 7 5 3 8 4 6 3 9 7 4 3
1 9 1 2 1 8 2 4 6 2 7 9 4 5 8 6 3 4 7 5 3 9 6 8 3 5 7
