%N Most likely total for a roll of n 6-sided dice, choosing the smallest if there is a choice.
%C In fact ceiling(7n/2) is just as likely as floor(7n/2), so sequence could equally well be A047345. - _Henry Bottomley_, Jan 19 2001. a(1) is the only exception to this rule. - _Dmitry Kamenetsky_, Nov 03 2017
