%N Number of nonequivalent ways to place n non-attacking rooks on an n X n board with no rook on 2 main diagonals up to rotations and reflections of the board.

%C For odd n, there are no symmetrical configurations of non-attacking rooks without a rook in the main diagonal, so a(2n+1) = A003471(2n+1) / 8. For even n, configurations with rotational and diagonal symmetry are possible.
