%N Number of ways of placing ceiling(n/2) nonattacking queens on an n X n Mobius chessboard.
%C The chessboard is an n X n standard chessboard whose left and right edges are twisted connected.

%e a(4)=16 because any queen attacks all but two other squares and every solution is counted twice by enumerating all such placements.
%Y Cf. A000170, A007705, A002562, A053994, A061989, A061990.
