EXAMPLE
T(0,0) = 1 because the only prime knot with no more than 9 crossings with determinant 2*0+1=1 and s=0 is 0_1, the unknot.
T(1,1) = 1 because the only prime knot with no more than 9 crossings with determinant 2*1+1=3 and s=2 is 3_1, the left-handed trefoil.
T(1,3) = 1 because the only prime knot with no more than 9 crossings with determinant 2*1+1=3 and s=6 is 8_19.
