Apr 15, 2014 at 19:00 comment added Leonid Shifrin @Mr.Wizard Ok, done.
Apr 15, 2014 at 18:15 comment added Mr.Wizard @Leonid I would prefer that you copy and paste.
Apr 15, 2014 at 17:53 comment added Leonid Shifrin @Mr.Wizard Ok, fair enough. Perhaps, what I wanted to say was that there wasn't a practical (fast enough) solution for really large number of permutations posted for that question, while I believe I do have one. Re: moving - sure. Can you do it by merging the answer sets, or do you suggest that I copy and paste it from here?
Apr 15, 2014 at 17:43 comment added Mr.Wizard @Leonid The emphasis on the old question is: "Question: Is there a different way to generate the permutations that avoids this problem?" Will you consider moving your new answer?
Apr 15, 2014 at 14:53 comment added Leonid Shifrin @Mr.Wizard This may look like a duplicate, but the emphasis here is on how one can make this work, not on the mere fact that the straight-forward use of Permutations will blow up the memory.

Apr 15, 2014 at 3:15 comment added Mr.Wizard Note to all posters: please take the time to look for duplicates before you answer. This question was almost certainly asked before, and finding a duplicate was easy.

Apr 15, 2014 at 1:50 comment added m_goldberg 14! is a rather large number, so I understand why you might not want to store all the permutations in memory. However, even if you accomplish your goal of generating the permutations one-by-one, how long do you think it will take to score more than 87 billion lists of 14 integers?

General clean-up
Apr 15, 2014 at 1:21 comment added ciao Look at the Conbinatorica package. You can generate the permutations one at a time to score using its functions.
