The partitions of 6 in reverse lexicographic order:
[6], [5,1], [4,2], [4,1,1], [3,3], [3,2,1], [3,1,1,1], [2,2,2], [2,2,1,1], [2,1,1,1,1], [1,1,1,1,1,1]
Reversed (i.e., the contraconjugates of the partitions of 6, respectively)::
[1,1,1,1,1,1], [2,1,1,1,1], [2,2,1,1], [2,2,2], [3,1,1,1], [3,2,1], [3,3], [4,1,1], [4,2], [5,1], [6]
Ferrers conjugates:
[1,1,1,1,1,1], [2,1,1,1,1], [2,2,1,1], [3,1,1,1], [2,2,2], [3,2,1], [4,1,1], [3,3], [4,2], [5,1], [6]
Comparing the 2nd and 3rd lists shows that 11-4 = 7 partitions of 6 have identical Ferrers conjugate and contraconjugate, so that a(6) = 7.
