R. H. Hardin, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..210

Formula

Empirical: a(n) = 38*a(n-1) -189*a(n-2) -1434*a(n-3) +6910*a(n-4) -3882*a(n-5) -9380*a(n-6) +9742*a(n-7) -477*a(n-8) -1476*a(n-9) +125*a(n-10)

Example

Some solutions for n=3 0=self 1=nw 3=ne 4=w 6=e 7=sw 9=se (reciprocal directions total 10)
