%N A325003 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of achiral colorings of the facets (or vertices) of a regular n-dimensional simplex using exactly k colors.
%C A325003 For n=1, the figure is a line segment with two vertices. For n=2, the figure is a triangle with three edges. For n=3, the figure is a tetrahedron with four triangular faces. The Schläfli symbol, {3,...,3}, of the regular n-dimensional simplex consists of n-1 threes. Each of its n+1 facets is a regular (n-1)-dimensional simplex. An achiral coloring is the same as its reflection. For k <= n all the colorings are achiral.
%C A325003 The final zero in each row indicates no achiral colorings when each facet has a different color.
