COMMENTS
The g.f. for "number of k's" is (1/2)*(x^k/(1+x^k))*(Product_{n>=1} 1 + x^n) - (1/2)*(x^k/(1-x^k))*(Product_{n>=1} 1 - x^n).

FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{j=1..round(n/12)} A067659(n-(2*j-1)*6) - Sum_{j=1..floor(n/12)} A067661(n-12*j).
G.f.: (1/2)*(x^6/(1+x^6))*(Product_{n>=1} 1 + x^n) - (1/2)*(x^6/(1-x^6))*(Product_{n>=1} 1 - x^n).
EXAMPLE
a(13) = 2 because the partitions in question are: 7+6, 6+4+2+1.
