%C a(n) is the number of ways two opposing basketball teams could score a combined total of n points (counting one point free throws, two point field goals, and three point field goals) considering the order of the scoring as important. - _Geoffrey Critzer_, Feb 07 2009

%C Number of permutations of length a(n+1) avoiding the partially ordered pattern (POP) {1>3, 4>2} of length 4. That is, number of length n permutations having no subsequences of length 4 in which the first element is larger than the third element, and the fourth element is larger than the second element. - _Sergey Kitaev_, Dec 08 2020

%C a(n) is the number of compositions of n into parts 1, 3, and 3, each part of two kinds. - _Joerg Arndt_, Jul 30 2023
