Examples
6-tuple combinatorics: a(1)=0 because the only list of 6-tuples composed of 1 is [(1,1,1,1,1,1)] and this is a coincidence for j=1. 6-tuple combinatorics: from the 2^6=64 possible 6-tuples of numbers 1 and 2 all except (1,1,1,1,1,1) appear as first members of the length 2 lists. The second members are the 6-tuples obtained by interchanging 1 and 2 in the first member. E.g. one of the a(2) = 2^6-1 = 63 lists is [(1,1,1,1,1,2),(2,2,2,2,2,1)]. The list [(1,1,1,1,1,1),(2,2,2,2,2,2)] does not qualify because it has in fact two coincidences, those for j=1 and j=2.
