COMMENTS
The expected clique number of G(n,1/2) is the rational value a(n)/b(n), where b(n) denotes the sequence A006125 (the number of graphs on n labeled nodes). For instance, the expected clique number of G(4,1/2) is a(4)/b(4) = 151/64. G(n,1/2) denotes the random graph on n labeled nodes obtained by choosing, randomly and independently, every pair of nodes {ij} to be an edge with probability 1/2 (Alon, Krivelevich and Sudakov p. 2)

EXAMPLE
Consider the 8 different labeled graphs on 3 nodes: one of the graphs has clique number 1, six of the graphs have clique number 2 and one of the graphs has clique number 3. Hence a(3) = 1*1 + 6*2 + 1*3 = 16.
