Maximum value from the S2(100, *) row:
7769730053598745155212806612787584787397878128370115840974992570102386086289805848025074822404843545178960761551674
Alternatively, the S2(n,k) function can be defined as:
func S2((0), (0)) { 1 }
func S2(_, (0)) { 0 }
func S2((0), _) { 0 }
func S2(n, k) is cached { S2(n-1, k)*k + S2(n-1, k-1) }
