%N From the "100 Green Bottles" song.

%C Included as an accompaniment to the OEIS 100K e-party (see link).

%C There are many versions of the song. One begins:

%C One hundred green bottles standing on the wall,

%C One hundred green bottles standing on the wall,

%C and if one green bottle should accidentally fall,

%C there'd be ninety-nine green bottles standing on the wall.

%C Ninety-nine green bottles standing on the wall,

%C Ninety-nine green bottles standing on the wall,

%C and if one green bottle should accidentally fall,

%C there'd be Ninety-eight green bottles standing on the wall.

%C ...

%C The most common version begins "Ten green bottles standing on the wall", but that gives a subsequence.
