%F Empirical: a(n) = (1/3360)*n^8 + (3/560)*n^7 + (5/144)*n^6 + (7/120)*n^5 + (761/1440)*n^4 + (81/80)*n^3 + (122/63)*n^2 + (89/210)*n + 3.

%F Conjectures from _Colin Barker_, Sep 05 2018: (Start)

%F G.f.: x*(7 - 30*x + 100*x^2 - 160*x^3 + 195*x^4 - 162*x^5 + 82*x^6 - 23*x^7 + 3*x^8) / (1 - x)^9.

%F a(n) = 9*a(n-1) - 36*a(n-2) + 84*a(n-3) - 126*a(n-4) + 126*a(n-5) - 84*a(n-6) + 36*a(n-7) - 9*a(n-8) + a(n-9) for n>9.
