The values for n = 208-213 are 22,0,0,0,4,4 according to Arch D. Robison. The values for 199-207 are not yet known. - Peter Luschny, Feb 20 2014, Jun 28 2019
Zero values at 135, 136, 149, 150, 151, 164, 165, 166, 179, 180, 181, 195, 196, 209, 210, 211. - Ed Pegg Jr, Jun 23 2019 [These values were found by Arch D. Robison, see links. Peter Luschny, Jun 28 2019]
From Yannic Schröder, Feb 22 2021: (Start)
Zero values at 135, 136, 149, 150, 151, 164, 165, 166, 179, 180, 181, 195, 196 have been replaced with correct values using an additional mark.
A lower bound for 209 is 62, for 210 is 16, and for 211 is 204.
The verified value for 212 and for 213 is 4. (End)
