a(n) = A111808(n,4) for n>3. - Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), Aug 17 2005

If a 2-set Y and 2-set Z, having one element in common, are subsets of an n-set X then a(n-3) is the number of 5-subests of X intersecting both Y and Z. - Milan R. Janjic (agnus(AT)blic.net), Oct 03 2007
