%N Maximum number of 1's in an fully symmetrical n X n binary matrix with no three 1's adjacent in a line along a row, column or diagonally.

%C Fully symmetrical refers to the four symmetry axes: horizontal, vertical and two diagonal.

%C Note that a(3k+2) = 4*(1+k)^2, for k=0,...,8, but a(29) = 401.
