Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N Number of different equations that can be made by summing numbers from 1 to n and using every number not more than once.
%C The summands of each side are in increasing order and the minimum of all summands is on the left side.
