%C In a class of n students, the number of committees (of any size) that contain an ordered k-sized subcommittee is a(n,k). - _Ross La Haye_, Apr 17 2006

%C Antidiagonal sums [1,2,5,12,30,76,198,528,1448,4080,...] appear to be binomial transform of A000522 interleaved with itself, i.e., 1,1,2,2,5,5,16,16,65,65,... - _Ross La Haye_, Sep 09 2006

%C Let P(A) be the power set of an n-element set A. Then a(n,k) = the number of ways to add k elements of A to each element x of P(A) where the k elements are not elements of x and order of addition is important. - _Ross La Haye_, Nov 19 2007
