Number of permutations of 3 distinct letters (ABC) each with n copies such that 3n-2 remain fixed points. E.g. if AAAAABBBBBCCCCC (3*5=15 letters) then 15-2=13 fixed points n5=75 - Zerinvary Lajos (zerinvarylajos(AT)yahoo.com), Feb 02 2006

Numbers n such that the imaginary quadratic field Q[Sqrt[ -n]] has six units. - Marc LeBrun (mlb(AT)well.com), Apr 12 2006

The denominators of Hoehn's sequence (recalled by G. L. Honaker, Jr.) and the numerators of that sequence reversed. The sequence is 1/3, (1+3)/(5+7), (1+3+5)/(7+9+11), (1+3+5+7)/(9+11+13+15), . . . ; reduced to 1/3, 4/12, 9/27, 16/48, . . . . For the reversal, the reduction is 3/1, 12/4, 27/9, 48/16, . . . . - Enoch Haga (Enokh(AT)comcast.net), Oct 05 2007
