FORMULA
a(2n+1) = 11a(n) + 5a(n-1), a(2n+2) = a(n+1) + 15a(n).
EXAMPLE
There is 1 position (0,0,0,0,0) with a total of zero. There are 10 positions with a total of 2 that are permutations of (0,0,0,1,1). Therefore, a(1)=11.

(* Second program: *)
a[n_] := a[n] = Which[n <= 1, {1, 11}[[n+1]], OddQ[n], 11 a[(n-1)/2] + 5 a[(n-1)/2 - 1], EvenQ[n], a[(n-2)/2 + 1] + 15*a[(n-2)/2]];
