EXAMPLE
|
a(2) = 1 = 0 + 1 (two but no fewer terms)
a(3) = 6 = 1 + 2 + 3 (three but no fewer terms)
a(4) = 10 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 (four but no fewer terms)
a(5) = 20 = 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 (five but no fewer terms)
a(6) = 0, since no number needs six but no fewer terms
a(7) = 28 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 (seven but no fewer terms)
