The number of 2-rim hooks removed from an integer partition to obtain its associated 2-core. For any positive integer $k$, one associates a $k$-core to a partition by repeatedly removing all rim hooks of size $k$. This statistic counts the $2$-rim hooks that are removed in this process to obtain a $2$-core.

The hat guessing number of a graph. Suppose that each vertex of a graph corresponds to a player, wearing a hat whose color is arbitrarily chosen from a set of $q$ possible colors. Each player can see the hat colors of his neighbors, but not his own hat color. All of the players are asked to guess their own hat colors simultaneously, according to a predetermined guessing strategy and the hat colors they see, where no communication between them is allowed. The hat guessing number $HG(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the largest integer $q$ such that there exists a guessing strategy guaranteeing at least one correct guess for any hat assignment of $q$ possible colors. Because it suffices that a single player guesses correctly, the hat guessing number of a graph is the maximum of the hat guessing numbers of its connected components.

The number of indecomposable projective-injective modules in the algebra corresponding to a subset. Let $A_n=K[x]/(x^n)$. We associate to a nonempty subset S of an (n-1)-set the module $M_S$, which is the direct sum of $A_n$-modules with indecomposable non-projective direct summands of dimension $i$ when $i$ is in $S$ (note that such modules have vector space dimension at most n-1). Then the corresponding algebra associated to S is the stable endomorphism ring of $M_S$. We decode the subset as a binary word so that for example the subset $S=\{1,3 \} $ of $\{1,2,3 \}$ is decoded as 101.
