For a permutation $pi$, let $S_{n}(pi)$ be the number of permutations on $n$ letters avoiding $pi$. Marcus and Tardos proved the celebrated Stanley-Wilf conjecture that $L(pi)= lim_{n o infty} S_n(pi)^{1/n}$ exists and is finite. Backed by numerical evidence, it has been conjectured by many researchers over the years that $L(pi)=Theta(k^2)$ for every permutation $pi$ on $k$ letters. We disprove this conjecture, showing that $L(pi)=2^{k^{Theta(1)}}$ for almost all permutations $pi$ on $k$ letters.
