%N A000008 Number of ways of making change for n cents using coins of 1, 2, 5, 10 
               cents.
%C A000008 There is a unique solution to this puzzle: "There are a prime number 
               of ways that I can make change for n cents using coins of 1, 2, 5, 
               10 cents; but a semiprime number of ways that I can make change for 
               n-1 cents and for n+1 cents." There is a unique solution to this 
               related puzzle: "There are a prime number of ways that I can make 
               change for n cents using coins of 1, 2, 5, 10 cents; but a 3-almost 
               prime number of ways that I can make change for n-1 cents and for 
               n+1 cents." - Jonathan Vos Post (jvospost3(AT)gmail.com), Aug 26
