A block fountain consists of rows of circles in which each row is a continuous block of circles (i.e., adjacent circles are tangent) and each circle in a row above the first touches exactly two circles on the previous row. 
Write a function to compute the number of block fountains with n circles on the first row. For example, there are five block fountains with three circles on the first row.

I believe there is an error in test 9. The last digit should be 3 rather than 5.

Yes, you're right. I double-counted two of the configurations. ;-)
