EXAMPLE
-------------------------------------
Number
Partitions of 5 of terms
-------------------------------------
5 .......................... 1
1 + 4 ...................... 2
2 + 3 ...................... 2
1 + 1 + 3 .................. 3
1 + 2 + 2 .................. 3
1 + 1 + 1 + 2 .............. 4
1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 .......... 5
-------------------------------------
There are 7 partitions of the integer 5 is 7. The four partitions 1 + 1 + 3, 1 + 2 + 2, 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 and 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 each have at least 3 parts, so a(5) = 3.
