%N Number of reduced words of length n in Coxeter group on 24 generators S_i with relations (S_i)^2 = (S_i S_j)^26 = I.

%C The initial terms coincide with those of A170743, although the two sequences are eventually different.

%C First disagreement at index 26: a(26) = 265098421726069091188171497832558356, A170743(26) = 265098421726069091188171497832558632. - Klaus Brockhaus, Apr 30 2011

%C Computed with Magma using commands similar to those used to compute A154638.
