FORMULA
Conjectures from Colin Barker, May 06 2018: (Start)
G.f.: 2*x*(1 + 38*x + 45*x^2 + 21*x^3 + 2*x^4 + x^5) / (1 - x)^2.
a(n) = 24*(9*n - 17) for n>4.
a(n) = 2*a(n-1) - a(n-2) for n>6.
(End)
EXAMPLE
Some solutions for n=4:
..1........4........3........4........2........1........1........0
..2.1......3.2......2.3......3.2......3.4......0.1......2.1......1.2
..1.0.1....2.1.2....3.4.3....2.1.2....2.3.4....1.2.1....3.2.3....2.3.2
..0.1.0.1..1.2.3.4..2.3.2.1..1.0.1.0..3.4.3.2..2.1.2.1..2.3.2.3..3.2.1.0
