Values of L_n, the length of the longest increasing subsequence in 10^4 random permutations of {1, 2, ... , n} for n=8x10^3. There were 2 permutations for which L_n was 159, 7 for which it was 160, and so forth. 2 159 7 160 13 161 38 162 72 163 166 164 238 165 406 166 564 167 740 168 919 169 998 170 1077 171 968 172 884 173 815 174 599 175 477 176 364 177 263 178 133 179 108 180 56 181 57 182 16 183 7 184 8 185 3 186 1 187 1 188
