From Wikipedia:
In number theory, a partition of a positive integer n, also called an integer partition, is a way of writing n as a sum of positive integers.
The partitions of 4 are listed below:
1. 4
2. 3 + 1
3. 2 + 2
4. 2 + 1 + 1
5. 1 + 1 + 1 + 1

How many ways can those tally marks be grouped or partitioned, keeping the total number at ten?
