%N A005044 Alcuin's sequence: expansion of x^3/((1-x^2)*(1-x^3)*(1-x^4)).
%C A005044 a(n) = number of triangles with integer sides and perimeter n.
%C A005044 Also a(n) = number of triangles with distinct integer sides and perimeter 
               n+6, i.e. number of triples (a, b, c) such that 1<a<b<c<a+b, a+b+c=n+6. 
               - Roger CUCULIERE (cuculier(AT)sophocle.imaginet.fr).
%C A005044 With a different offset (i.e. without the three leading zeros), also 
               the number of ways in which n empty casks, n casks half-full of wine 
               and n full casks can be distributed to 3 persons in such a way that 
               each one gets the same number of casks and the same amount of wine 
               [Alcuin]. E.g. for n=2 one can give 2 people one full and one empty 
               and the 3rd gets two half-full. (Comment corrected by Franklin T. 
               Adams-Watters, Oct 23 2006)
%C A005044 For m >= 2, the sequence {a(n) mod m} is periodic with period 12m. -
