%N Number of polyominoes that can be formed from n regular unit pentagons (or polypents of order n).

%C Number of 5-polyominoes with n pentagons. A k-polyomino is a non-overlapping union of n regular unit k-gons.

%C Unlike A051738, these are not anchored polypents but simple polypents. - _George Sicherman_, Mar 06 2006

%C Polypents (or 5-polyominoes in Koch and Kurz's terminology) can have holes and this enumeration includes polypents with holes. - _George Sicherman_, Dec 06 2007

%e a(3)=2 because there are 2 geometrically distinct ways to join 3 regular pentagons edge to edge.
