The purpose of the present note is to give a combinatorial interpretation of the coefficients of expansion of the Ramanujan continued fraction ([1], p. 295)

The result is expressed by formula (12) below.

The enumeration of distinct score vectors of a tournament leads to the following problem: (Erdős and Moser, see Moon [2], p. 68). Given n ≥ 1, k ≥ 0, determine the number of distinct sequences of positive integers
