%N Sum of the asymmetry degrees of all compositions of n with parts in {2,1,3,5,7,9,...}.
%C The asymmetry degree of a finite sequence of numbers is defined to be the number of pairs of symmetrically positioned distinct entries. Example: the asymmetry degree of (2,7,6,4,5,7,3) is 2, counting the pairs (2,3) and (6,5).
%C A sequence is palindromic if and only if its asymmetry degree is 0.
