If w is maximally-clustered and hexagon-avoiding, there are simple explicit formulas for all the Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials P_{x,w}.

FORMULA
G.f.: (3x^6+x^5-5x^4+7x^3-5x^2+x) / (-3x^6+4x^5+8x^4-14x^3+15x^2-7x+1).
EXAMPLE
a(8)=4535 because there are 4535 permutations of size 8 that avoid 3421, 4312, 4321, 46718235, 46781235, 56718234 and 56781234.
