%C For n>=2, a(n) is equal to the number of functions f:{1,2,...,n}->{1,2,3,4,5,6} such that for fixed, different x_1, x_2 in {1,2,...,n} and fixed y_1, y_2 in {1,2,3,4,5,6} we have f(x_1)<>y_1 and f(x_2)<> y_2. - _Milan Janjic_, Apr 19 2007

%C a(n) is the number of generalized compositions of n when there are 5*i-1 different types of i, (i=1,2,...). - _Milan Janjic_, Aug 26 2010
