%N a(n) = Sum_{k=0..5} binomial(n,k).

%C a(n) is the sum of the first six terms of the n-th row in Pascal's triangle. - _Geoffrey Critzer_, Jan 19 2009

%C Also the interpolating polynomial for the divisors of 32: {a(k): 0 <= k < 6} = {1,2,4,8,16,32}. - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Jun 17 2009

%C a(n) is the maximal number of regions in 5-space formed by n-1 4-dimensional hypercubes. - _Carl Schildkraut_, May 26 2015

%C a(n) is the number of binary words of length n matching the regular expression 1*0*1*0*1*0*. A000124, A000125, A000127 count binary words of the form 0*1*0*, 1*0*1*0*, and 0*1*0*1*0*, respectively. - _Manfred Scheucher_, Jun 22 2023
