Consider a two dimensional grid of squares. The grid has 4 rows but infinitely many columns.An amoeba in square can divide itself into two amoebas to occupy the squares and , provided these squares are empty.
The following diagrams show two cases of an amoeba placed in square A of each grid. When it divides, it is replaced with two amoebas, one at each of the squares marked with B:
Originally there is only one amoeba in the square . After divisions there will be amoebas arranged in the grid. An arrangement may be reached in several different ways but it is only counted once. Let be the number of different possible arrangements after divisions.
For example, , , and the last nine digits of are .
