COMMENTS
In Spanish dominoes (double sixes) each of the four players gets a hand of seven stones. a(n) represents the number of possible different hands of n points. The lowest possible number of points in a hand is 15: (0-0 / 0-1 / 1-1 / 0-2 / 1-2 / 0-3) and one of the following stones: (2-2 / 1-3 / 0-4) which is three different combinations.
The highest hand is 69 points (6-6 / 6-5 / 5-5 / 6-4 / 5-4 / 6-3) and any of: (4-4 / 5-3 / 6-2). The sequence is finite and symmetrical around the peak: a(42) = 65746.
The sum of a(15) through a(69) is C(28,7) = 1184040.

FORMULA
a(42+n) = a(42-n).
EXAMPLE
a(15)=3 since there are only 3 combinations of 7 stones that yield a hand of 15 points.
