%N Number of facets of the cone defined by the zero-one inclusion matrix of pairs versus triples on an n-set.

%C Equivalently, this is the number of integer weightings of the edges of the complete graph K_n which are: (1) nonnegative on all triangles; (2) maximally vanishing on triangles; and (3) have gcd of weights equal to one.

%C This also gives the degree of each anticut in the metric polytope (see link below) for n points.

%e For n = 5, the 10 facet normals are defined by the choice of a (2,3)-partition. Weight 2 is assigned to edges within each part and weight -1 is assigned to edges crossing the partition. Every triangle has weight 0, except for one which inherits weight 6.
