The generating functions for n = 10 and 12 are apparently:

n = 10: (x^8 - 5*x^7 + 21*x^6 - 35*x^5 + 16*x^4 + 15*x^3 + 11*x^2 + 5*x +
1)/(1 - x)^5
n = 12: (x^6 - 5*x^5 + 11*x^4 - 2*x^3 + 23*x^2 + 7*x + 1)/(1 - x)^5 (which
is the same as the crystal ball sequence A143008 except for the second
term).
