Number of palindromic (in base 2) triples that sum to n.

1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 3, 2, 4, 3, 4, 2, 4, 2, 6, 2, 6, 3, 6, 2, 7, 3, 7, 3, 7, 2, 9, 2, 7, 3, 9, 3, 10, 4, 10, 4, 11, 3, 12, 2, 11, 3, 11, 1, 12, 2, 10, 4, 11, 2, 14, 3, 11, 4, 13, 1, 13, 2, 11, 3, 12, 2, 15, 2, 13, 5, 14, 3, 17, 2, 13, 4, 15, 2, 17, 2, 12, 4, 15

Because all nonzero palindromic numbers in base 2 are odd, even numbers require an even number of terms. This becomes a problem for 176, 188, 208,… which are the numbers in A261678. Hence, it appears that at least 4 palindromic numbers are required in base 2. That case is addressed in S000708.
