%N Number of n-node triangulations of the sphere with minimal degree 5.
%C Other face sizes larger than 5 and 6 are allowed and there can be more than 12 vertices with degree 5.
%C Convex polytopes with minimum degree at least 5. The sequence is extracted from the file more-counts.txt that comes with the plantri distribution.
%C Grace conjectured that all polyhedra inscribed in the unit sphere with maximal volume are "medial" (all faces triangular and vertex degree either m or m+1 where m < 6 - 12/n < m+1). For n = 12 and n > 13 the medial polyhedra have 12 vertices of degree 5 and n-12 vertices of degree 6. All known numerical solutions of the maximal volume problem (A081314) have this property.
%C The triangulated arrangements of points on a sphere with icosahedral symmetry given by Hardin, Sloane and Smith are examples for large n.
