%e Triangle is arranged as (b,k) = (3, 2), (4, 2), (4, 3), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5,4), (6,2), ....

%e In base 3, there are no solutions for 12, so T(3,2)=0. In base 4, there are no solutions for 12, so T(4,2)=0 and a single solution for 123, so T(4,3)=1. In base 5, there are no solutions with the digits 12 or 123, so T(5,1)=T(5,2)=0, but there is a single solution with the digits 1234: 4312_5/1234_5 = 3, so T(5,3)=1.
