%N Expansion of (Sum_{k>=0} x^(k*(5*k^2-5*k+2)/2))^15.

%C Number of ways to write n as an ordered sum of 15 icosahedral numbers (A006564).

%C Pollock conjectured that every number is the sum of at most 5 tetrahedral numbers and that every number is the sum of at most 7 octahedral numbers.

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

%C Extended conjecture: every number is the sum of at most 15 icosahedral numbers.
