FORMULA
Empirical: a(n) = (1/181440)*n^9 + (131/20160)*n^8 + (8893/30240)*n^7 + (4621/1440)*n^6 + (118933/8640)*n^5 + (83957/2880)*n^4 + (763489/22680)*n^3 + (36343/1680)*n^2 + (9169/1260)*n + 1.
Conjectures from Colin Barker, Oct 16 2017: (Start)
G.f.: x*(110 + 423*x - 422*x^2 - 766*x^3 + 848*x^4 - 246*x^5 + 90*x^6 - 44*x^7 + 10*x^8 - x^9) / (1 - x)^10.
a(n) = 10*a(n-1) - 45*a(n-2) + 120*a(n-3) - 210*a(n-4) + 252*a(n-5) - 210*a(n-6) + 120*a(n-7) - 45*a(n-8) + 10*a(n-9) - a(n-10) for n>10.
