Hi Seqfans,

Alois Heinz raised the quite reasonable possibility with the two sequences 
proposed sequences that it may not be possible to determine if there are 
unique maximum and minimum numbers of partition elements in A000793.

It seems to me they are unique; but I can't prove it and certainly could be 
wrong.  And I don't have a way to test empirically to see if there's an 
obvious contradiction.

Can anyone say definitively one way or the other?  If I'm wrong, or if it's 
not clear, then I'll have to revise the proposed postings.

Thanks,
Bob S
(PS - Neil, I decided to post this question here anyway, so certainly no 
need to reply to my discussion post on A256445).
