A161563 is described as "Triple factorials n!!!" and begins
1, 1, 2, 6, 40320, 1307674368000, ...
The Math'ca code it gives is n!!!, which is parsed as (n!!)!. So a(5)
= (5!!)! = 15! = 1307674368000.
Should I mark this as an erroneous version of A007661, or should I
change the definition to "Factorials of double factorials"? This
seems to have implications for many of the unedited sequences so I
thought I'd ask here.
