%N The number of distinct solid nets of the six convex regular 4D-polytopes in the order of their 3D-cell count.

%C These values have been taken from the Buekenhout (1998) paper (see link). During the unfolding of these solid nets along their common face, the possibility of any overlapping is ignored.

%C This finite sequence is fully determined but a(5) and a(6) are too large to be displayed in data. See formulas below to calculate these terms.
