%N Number of partitions of 3n into n parts from the set {0, 1, ..., 6} (repetitions admissible).

%C In Cayley's terminology, this is the number of literal terms of degree n and weight 3*n involving the letters a, b, c, d, e, f, g, having weights 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 respectively, a number which is also equal to the coefficient of x^(3n)z^n in the development of 1/((1-z)(1-xz)(1-x^2z)(1-x^3z)(1-x^4z)(1-x^5z)(1-x^6z)). - Herman Jamke (hermanjamke(AT)fastmail.fm), Feb 16 2008

%C a(0..5)=0; a(n) is the number of partitions of 3*(n+1) with 6 different numbers from the set {1,...,n}; the number of partitions of 3*(n+1)-C and 3*(n+1)+C are equal; example: n=8; 3*n+3=27; a(8)=4; (21,1), (22,1),(23,2), (24,2), (25,3), (26,3), (27,4), (28,3), (29,3), (30,2), (31,2),(32,1), (33,1). - _Paul Weisenhorn_, Jun 01 2009
