Formula

G.f.: 72 * x^2/(1-x)^2 * { x^5/[(1-x)^3*(1-x^2)] - 2x^5/[(1-x)*(1-x^2)^2] - x^5/[(1-x)^2*(1-x^3)] - 2x^6/[(1-x)*(1-x^2)*(1-x^3)] - x^6/(1-x^2)^3 - x^7/[(1-x^2)^2*(1-x^3)] + x^5/[(1-x)*(1-x^4)] + 2x^5/[(1-x^2)*(1-x^3)] + 2x^6/[(1-x^2)*(1-x^4)] + x^6/(1-x^3)^2 + x^7/[(1-x^2)*(1-x^5)] + x^7/[(1-x^3)*(1-x^4)] + x^8/[(1-x^3)*(1-x^5)] - x^5/(1-x^5) }. - Thomas Zaslavsky, Mar 03 2010
