Number of ways to choose one or two elements from each block of the partitions of an n-set into odd blocks.
EXAMPLE
a(6) = 571 since we have (number of partitions given by A003724; (n_i,.,n_k;N) means choose n_i elements from block i,.., choose n_k elements from block k, N ways for such case):
2 blocks: {12345} {6}: 6 such partitions, 90 ways considering the 2 cases (1,1;30), (2,1;60);
2 blocks: {123} {456}: 10 such partitions, 360 ways considering the 4 cases (1,1;90), (1,2;90), (2,1;90), (2,2;90).
4 blocks: {123} {4} {5} {6}: 20 such partitions, 120 ways considering the 2 cases (1,1,1,1;60), (2,1,1,1;60);
6 blocks: {1} {2} {3} {4} {5} {6}: 1 partition, 1 way considering the single case (1,1,1,1,1,1;1).
The number of partitions is A003724(6) = 37 and the number of ways is a(6) = 571.
