%N Sums of 10 distinct positive pentatope numbers (A000332).

%C Pentatope number Ptop(n) = binomial(n+3,4) = n*(n+1)*(n+2)*(n+3)/24.

%C Hyun Kwang Kim asserts that every positive integer can be represented as the sum of no more than 8 pentatope numbers, but in this sequence we are only concerned with sums of nonzero distinct pentatope numbers.
