%N Parenthesized one way gives the powers of 2: (1), (2), (1+3), ..., another way the powers of 3: (1), (2+1), (3+6), ....

%C Powers of 2 need 1 term or 2 terms parenthesized, whereas powers of 3 need 2 or 3 terms parenthesized, when 3 then the middle term is a power of 2. See A227928. - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Oct 09 2013
