%N Number of distinct means of nonempty subsets of points {(x,y)|1<=x<=n, 1<=y<=n}.

%e For n = 2 the a(2) = 13 means are (1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3/2), (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3/2), (3/2, 1), (3/2, 2), (3/2, 3/2), (4/3, 4/3), (4/3, 5/3), (5/3, 4/3), (5/3, 5/3).

%e They can be visualized as follows:

%e Mark the set of points with "x" in a 2 X 2 matrix:

%e (xx)

%e (xx)

%e The points not in a particular subset are replaced with "."

%e For example, the subset {(1,1),(1,2)}

%e (x.)

%e is represented by: (x.)

%e The means for n=2 arise from the following subsets:

%e (1,1): (..)
