%C If Y is an (n-3)-subset of an n-set X then, for n>=5, a(n-5) is the number of 4-subsets of X having at least two elements in common with Y. - _Milan Janjic_, Dec 16 2007

%C This equation represents the number of numbers with <=n digits such that the sum of the digits is between 1 and 4 inclusive and no digit is larger than 3. - _David Consiglio, Jr._, Oct 27 2008
