%N Number of counterclockwise n-step spirals on hexagonal lattice where turns of 2*Pi/3 are forbidden.
%C The hexagonal lattice is the familiar 2-dimensional lattice in which each point has 6 neighbors. This is sometimes called the triangular lattice.
%C Corresponds to Model II of the Szekeres and Guttmann paper.
