COMMENTS
An inseparable solution is one in which "there is no j such that the first j of the triples are a partition of 1, ..., 3j" (see A202705).
A self-conjugate solution is one in which for every triple (a, b, c) in the partition there exists a "conjugate" triple (m-a, m-b, m-c) or (m-b, m-a, m-c) where m = 3n+1.

FORMULA
a(n) = A282616(n) - A279197(n).
a(n) = A279199(n) - A282618(n).
EXAMPLE
For n = 4 the a(4) = 3 solutions are:
(10,12,11),(7,9,8),(4,6,5),(1,3,2),
(10,12,11),(5,9,7),(4,8,6),(1,3,2), and
(8,12,10),(7,11,9),(2,6,4),(1,5,3).
CROSSREFS
All of A279197, A279198, A202705, A279199, A104429, A282615 are concerned with counting solutions to X+Y=2Z in various ways.
