Formula
Empirical: a(n) = 55*a(n-1) - 918*a(n-2) + 5818*a(n-3) - 13417*a(n-4) + 8463*a(n-5).
Conjectures from Colin Barker, Feb 22 2018: (Start)
G.f.: x*(1 - 51*x + 732*x^2 - 3517*x^3 + 4419*x^4) / ((1 - x)*(1 - 3*x)*(1 - 7*x)*(1 - 13*x)*(1 - 31*x)).
a(n) = 11/30 + 3^n/8 + 7^(n-1)/6 + 13^(n-1)/12 + 31^(n-1)/120.
