G.f.: A(x) = 1 + x - x^2 - x^3 - x^4 - x^6 + x^7 - x^8 - x^10 - x^11 + x^13 - x^14 - x^15 + x^16 + x^18 - x^20 - x^22 - x^23 + x^24 - x^25 + x^28 - x^29 - x^30 - x^31 - x^32 - x^34 + x^36 - x^38 - x^42 + x^44 - x^45 - x^46 + x^47 - x^48 - x^49 - x^51 - x^53 - x^54 + x^55 - x^56 - x^57 + x^58 - x^60 - x^61 + x^62 - x^63 - x^64 + x^65 + x^66 + x^67 - x^68 + x^69 - x^70 + x^71 + x^73 - x^74 - x^75 - x^76 - x^77 + x^82 + x^84 - x^85 - x^86 - x^87 - x^88 + x^89 - x^91 - x^92 +...
