%N Expansion of (Sum_{k>=0} x^(k*(2*k-1)))^6.

%C Number of ways to write n as an ordered sum of 6 hexagonal numbers (A000384).

%C a(n) > 0 for all n >= 0.

%C Every number is the sum of at most 6 hexagonal numbers.

%C Every number is the sum of at most k k-gonal numbers (Fermat's polygonal number theorem).
