EXAMPLE
For n = 0, the 3 numbers are partitioned as {1}, {2}, {3}.
For n = 1, the 5 numbers are partitioned as {1,4}, {2,3}, {5}.
For n = 2, the 13 numbers are partitioned as {2,10,13}, {4,7,8,12}, {1,3,5,6,9,11}.
For n = 3, the 23 numbers are partitioned as {3,6,10,13,18,19,21}, {1,4,7,8,12,16,20,22}, {2,5,9,11,14,15,17,23}.
