Mar 23, 2017 at 14:46 comment added Martin Ender @Mr.Wizard Right, I just wasn't sure whether "this is the fastest method I have come up with" included attempting non-filtering methods or not. :) I think it should be possible to generate them directly recursively, based on the recurrence of the subfactorial numbers, but I'm not sure how good I am with writing fast Mathematica code. I'll give it a try and see what I come up with.
Mar 23, 2017 at 14:44 comment added Mr.Wizard @MartinEnder I only considered faster discarding (filtering) methods. I don't even know how one would directly generate these without discarding, hence Can we generate these directly and avoid filtering entirely? which you'll note I did not self-answer.
Mar 23, 2017 at 13:39 comment added Martin Ender Have you tried a non-discarding approach and found it to be slower, or did you just look into faster discarding approaches so far?
Mar 23, 2017 at 13:28 comment added Mr.Wizard @ubpdqn Thank you. :-)
Mar 23, 2017 at 11:00 comment added ubpdqn such a neat way...brought me knowledge (and joy after a bad day) +1:)
