Hi Jordi, 

If it is allowed to combine permutations then allowing inter block
permutations will generate all possible permutations:

eg
1 2 3 | 4 5 6 
1 4 3 | 2 5 6
2 4 3 | 1 5 6
2 1 3 | 4 5 6

According to your inter- and intra-block permissions, this sequence is
allowed but the result is not ...

best, ingmar
