Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

Take apart the sides of each of the integer-sided triangles with perimeter n (at their vertices) and rearrange them orthogonally in 3-space so that their endpoints coincide at a single point. a(n) is the total volume of all rectangular prisms enclosed in this way.
