$a(n)$ is the number of linear extensions of poset $P_n$. (Exercise J is an simpler example of counting linear extensions.)

One can figure out what the Hasse diagram of $P_n$ is by observing Hasse diagrams of $P_2$, $P_3$, $P_4$ and $P_5$ in the picture.


Find $a(n)$.

$a(n)$ also counts the number of maximum packings of pattern $Q$ in column-strict arrays of size $3\times (n+1)$.



$a(n)$ also counts the number of standard Young tableaux of shape $n^3$ (French notation) avoiding pattern $T$, i.e., the number of standard Young tableaux of shape $n^3$ (French notation) such that for any element in the tableau, its upper element is larger than its right element.

$a(n)$ counts sequence A181197 on OEIS.

The hook-length formula for shifted Young tableaux is used for this problem. Solution with details will be posted here soon.
