%N Minimum number of diagonal transversals in a semicyclic diagonal Latin square of order 2n+1.
%C A horizontally semicyclic diagonal Latin square is a square where each row r(i) is a cyclic shift of the first row r(0) by some value d(i) (see example). Similarly, a vertically semicyclic diagonal Latin square is a square where each column c(i) is a cyclic shift of the first column c(0) by some value d(i).
