COMMENTS
Row n=4 of the triangle in A085452
The graph of any n-cube (n>1) contains only even length cycles.
The tesseract is the 4 dimensional cube, and is one of 6 regular convex polytopes in 4 dimensions. The Schläfli symbol for the tesseract is {4,3,3}.

EXAMPLE
a(2) = 24 because there are 24 4-cycles on the graph of the tesseract.
The cycle polynomial is 24*x^4 + 128*x^6 + 696*x^8 + 2112*x^10 + 5024*x^12 + 5376*x^14 + 1344*x^16.
