%N Twin hearts patterns packing into n X n coins.

%C Twin hearts (6c4a type) is one of total 17 distinct patterns appearing in 3X2 coins where each pattern consists of 6 perimeter parts from each coin and forms a continuous area.

%C a(n) is the number of total twin hearts patterns (6c4a type: 6-curves cover 4 coins) packing into n X n coins with rotation not allowed. The total coins left after packing twin hearts patterns into n X n coins is A230549 and voids left is A230550. See illustration in links.
