It appears that there was an error in the source book, which caused an error in
the terms.  NJAS gave me the formula 
n+8*C(n,2)+30*C(n,3)+62*C(n,4)+75*C(n,5)+30*C(n,6)

which generates the terms given in the original version of A6550.  However, if
the 62 above is replaced by 68 then it gives the sequence that my program
produced.  (Also it makes the formula expressed as a polynomial much nicer!)
