%F a(n) = sum((-1)^i*binomial(n, 2i+1)*E[n+3-2i], i=0..floor((n-1)/2)), where E[j]=A000111(j)=j!*[x^j]((sec(x)+tan(x)) are the up/down or Euler numbers. a(n)=T(n+4, n), where T is the triangle in A008282. - _Emeric Deutsch_, May 15 2004

%e a(1)=5 because we have 214365, 215364, 215463, 216354 and 216453.
