Define a (0,1) matrix A as a matrix whose entries are all either 0 or 1.
How many nxn (0,1) matrices are there such that A2 is also a (0,1) matrix?

I haven't done anything more than compute
2, 11, 172, 6327, ....
(Do you understand the meaning of 7 X n binary matrices?)

It's definitely A121231, which may or may not be the same as A122527, but I have no idea how the latter is the "number of 7 X n binary matrices," unless binary matrix means something else there. Presumably balakrishnan knows though.
