Dear Seq Fans, This paper

of the Triangle Inequality: From Straws to Experimental Mathematics for
Teachers</a>, Spreadsheets in Education (eJSiE), Vol. 9, Issue 1, Article

gives two sequences that were not in the OEIS. I have just added them, see
A278036, A278037. We are in kindergarten, and we are making triangles using
straws of two (or three) colors. The longest side is n. In how many ways
can this be done? The rules for deciding when two triangles are the same
are not clear to me. Maybe someone could figure out what is going on, and
add more terms?
