COMMENT

Also, the number of regions the plane can be cut into by two overlapping concave (2n)-gons. - Joshua Zucker (joshua.zucker(AT)stanfordalumni.org), Nov 05 2002
If X is an n-set and Y_i (i=1,2,3) mutually disjoint 2-subsets of X then a(n-5) is equal to the number of 5-subests of X intersecting each Y_i (i=1,2,3). - Milan R. Janjic (agnus(AT)blic.net), Aug 26 2007
