%N Number of (directed) Hamiltonian circuits in the cocktail party graph of order n.

%C Also, the number of ways (up to rotations) to seat n married couples at a circular table with no spouses next to each other. Cf. A007060, A193639. - _Geoffrey Critzer_, Feb 09 2014

%C The cocktail party graph may also be called the n-octahedron, n-orthoplex or n-dimensional cross polytope. - _Andrew Howroyd_, May 14 2017
