FORMULA
a(n) = A049331(2*n).
EXAMPLE
a(2) = 3 because Integral_{0..infinity} (sin(x)/x)^4 dx = (1/3)*Pi.
a(3) = 40 because Integral_{0..infinity} (sin(x)/x)^6 dx = (11/40)*Pi.
a(4) = 630 because Integral_{0..infinity} (sin(x)/x)^8 dx = (151/630)*Pi.
a(5) = 72576 because Integral_{0..infinity} (sin(x)/x)^10 dx = (15619/72576)*Pi.
