%N A000125 Cake numbers: maximal number of pieces resulting from n planar cuts through 
               a cube (or cake): C(n+1,3)+n+1.
%C A000125 Note that a(n) = a(n-1) + A000124(n-1). This has the following geometrical 
               interpretation: Define a number of planes in space to be in general 
               arrangement when (1) no two planes are parallel, (2) there are no 
               two parallel intersection lines, (3) there is no point common to 
               four or more planes. Suppose there are already n-1 planes in general 
               arrangement, thus defining the maximal number of regions in space 
               obtainable by n-1 planes and now one more plane is added in general 
               arrangement. Then it will cut each of the n-1 planes and acquire 
               intersection lines which are in general arrangement. (See the comments 
               on A000124 for general arrangement with lines.) These lines on the 
               new plane define the maximal number of regions in 2-space definable 
               by n-1 straight lines, hence this is A000124(n-1). Each of this regions 
               acts as a dividing wall, thereby creating as many new regions in 
               addition to the a(n-1) regions already there, hence a(n)=a(n-1)+A000124(n-1).

%C A000125 More generally, we have: A000027(n) = binomial(n,0) + binomial(n,1) (the 
               natural numbers), A000124(n) = binomial(n,0) + binomial(n,1) + binomial(n,
               2) (the Lazy Caterer's sequence), a(n) = binomial(n,0) + binomial(n,
               1) + binomial(n,2) + binomial(n,3) (Cake Numbers). - Peter C. Heinig

%C A000125 If Y is a 2-subset of an n-set X then, for n>=3, a(n-3) is the number 
               of 3-subsets of X which have no exactly one element in common with 
               Y. - Milan R. Janjic (agnus(AT)blic.net), Dec 28 2007
%C A000125 a(n) is the number of compositions (ordered partiitions) of n+1 into
