Number of 0..n arrays of six elements with zero second differences. - R. H. Hardin, Nov 16 2011

Also number of ordered triples (w,x,y) with all terms in {1,...,n+1} and w + 4*x = 5*y. Also the number of 3-tuples (w,x,y) with all terms in {1,...,n+1} and 5*w = 2*x +3*y. - Clark Kimberling, Apr 15 2012 [Corrected by Pontus von Brömssen, Jan 26 2020]

a(n) is also the number of 5 boxes polyomino (zig-zag patterns) packing into (n+3) X (n+3) square. See illustration in links. - Kival Ngaokrajang, Nov 10 2013

Also, number of ordered pairs (x,y) with both terms in {1,...,n+1} and x+4*y divisible by 5; or number of ordered pairs (x,y) with both terms in {1,...,n+1} and 2*x+3*y divisible by 5. - Pontus von Brömssen, Jan 26 2020

Examples

			For n = 5 there are 8 0..5 arrays of six elements with zero second differences: [0,0,0,0,0,0], [0,1,2,3,4,5], [1,1,1,1,1,1], [2,2,2,2,2,2], [3,3,3,3,3,3], [4,4,4,4,4,4], [5,4,3,2,1,0], [5,5,5,5,5,5].
