Because of my interest in [this question][1], I listed the subgroups of ${\frak S}_n$ for $1\le n\le4$. I found that the number of subgroups are, respectively, $1,2,6,24$. It might be a coincidence, or it could reveal a deep connection. > Is it always the case that ${\frak S}_n$ has exactly $n!$ (non-proper) subgroups ? [1]: http://mathoverflow.net/q/108530
