%N Number of ways of placing n balls into n boxes and then into n containers.
%e a(2): We can have either 2 balls in a box and the other box empty, or a ball in each box. We may place both the boxes into one container, or one in each.
%e So we have [(2)()][], [(1)(1)][], [(2)][()] and [(1)][(1)], hence a(2)=4.
%e For a(3) we have: (0 is an empty box, / is a new container, - is an empty container)
