I got accepted using SegmentTree. Let n number of items in permutation. Just look on the first item of permutation a1, we can say that before current permutation there are (a1 - 1)·(n - 1)! permutations. Then we need to erase item a1 and continue from next item. SegmentTree or Fenwick can answer on question "how many not erased items before ai?" in O(log(n)): for each item we set 0 when it erased and 1 when it not erased.
