%F Empirical: a(n) = (1/1260)*n^8 + (11/315)*n^7 + (59/90)*n^6 + (308/45)*n^5 + (7807/180)*n^4 + (7667/45)*n^3 + (14139/35)*n^2 + (17876/35)*n + 256.

%F Conjectures from _Colin Barker_, May 26 2018: (Start)

%F G.f.: 16*x*(87 - 457*x + 1183*x^2 - 1869*x^3 + 1925*x^4 - 1307*x^5 + 567*x^6 - 143*x^7 + 16*x^8) / (1 - x)^9.
