FORMULA

Empirical: a(n) = 5*a(n-1) + 11*a(n-2) + 9*a(n-3) - 9*a(n-4) - 27*a(n-5).

Empirical g.f.: x*(1 + 2*x + 2*x^2 - 5*x^3 - 12*x^4) / (1 - 5*x - 11*x^2 - 9*x^3 + 9*x^4 + 27*x^5). - Colin Barker, Apr 17 2018

EXAMPLE

..2..2....0..1....2..3....1..1....0..3....0..2....0..2....0..2....0..2....0..0

..0..2....3..3....2..3....3..3....2..0....0..2....3..2....3..3....1..1....2..2
