COMMENTS
| Tarim's countdown: 2 people pass clubs to each other after n throws, then n-1 throws, then n-2, ..., 2, 1, 2, ... n-1. Thus for 3-countdown it is 3,2,1,2 (and repeat), or put in terms of pass throws and self-throws, pass-self-self-pass-self-pass-pass-self and repeat.

FORMULA
| a(n) = n^2-1 for n odd, = 2(n^2-1) for n even.
|
|
|
EXAMPLE
| a(6) = 70 because 6^2 - 1 = 35 is odd, so it is doubled to 70 because the passing pattern must begin and end with same hand.
