There is a dedicated band of readers out there who take the same approach to my jottings as Chinese chefs take to the pig: Nothing is wasted.
Here, by way of illustration, is a reader response to my “huh?” in this posting. He actually got a greeting card out of it.
There are apparently 2010 unlabeled, unordered trees with 15 vertices and diameter 7 (the OEIS list starts at 8 vertices, that’s the offset field).
This possibly not terribly exciting fact inspired me to make the attached card, with a small forest of 4 such trees.
Happy New Year!
[Me] The same to you and yours!
