%C A305946 a(0) = 14 is the number of terms in A030702 and in A195948, which includes the power 6^0 = 1.
%C A305946 These are the row lengths of A305926. It remains an open problem to provide a proof that these rows are complete (as for all terms of A020665), but the search has been pushed to many orders of magnitude beyond the largest known term, and the probability of finding an additional term is vanishing, cf. Khovanova link.
