The number of different ways to run up a staircase with 17 steps, taking steps of odd sizes (or taking steps of distinct sizes), where the order is not relevant and there is no other restriction on the number or the size of each step taken is the coefficient of x^17. - Mohammad K. Azarian, Aug 22 2010
