Signals

This is from a poster RAL and CDL gave me, and that is an enlarged photocopy from an unknown book.

2 people 2 signals
3 people 9 signals
4 people 28 signals
5 people 75 signals
6 people 186 signals
7 people 441 signals
8 people 1,016 signals
9 people 2,295 signals
10 people 5,110 signals
11 people 11,253 signals
12 people 24,564 signals
13 people 53,235 signals
14 people 114,674 signals
15 people 245,745 signals
16 people 524,272 signals
17 people 1,114,095 signals
18 people 2,359,278 signals
19 people 4,980,717 signals
20 people 10,485,740 signals
21 people 22,020,075 signals

A mathematically inclined friend thought the equation that explained the relationship between the People and Signals was

S=(p*((2(p-1))-1)
