%C A068690: 2 is not compatible with {3,5,7}.

[Mitch Harris]

I don't know if I disagree. I read 'except' as an exclusive or, so
that the last digit would be in the complement of the property being
'excepted'. So my initial reaction was to exclude '2'. But mine may
have been an informal reading, rather than a mathematical one.

On reading the comments for this sequence and looking up precedence of
use in the OEIS, I don't think it matters one way or the other.

But now I'm curious...does (and/or should) 'except' have the meaning
of exclusive 'or' or inclusive?

I get 1,2,4,10,26,80,272,1076,4848,24832,142340,902440

with a brute force C++ program which scans all permutations:

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>

using namespace std; 

// return inverse permutation of s
vector<int> invsPerm( const vector<int> & s)
{
}

inline int k(const vector<int> & s)
{
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
