%N Number of directed "king tours" on an n X n board.

%C Or, number of directed Hamiltonian cycles in the graph P_n X P_n.

%C If the direction of the tour is not taken into account, the numbers for n > 1 must be halved (see A140519).

%C Computed using ZDDs (ZDD = "reduced, order, zero-suppressed binary decision diagram").
