%N Last cell visited by knight moves on a spirally numbered hexagonal board of edge-length n, moving to the lowest unvisited cell at each step.
%C A hexagonal board of edge-length 3, for example, is numbered spirally as:
%C .
%C 17--18--19
%C /
%C 16 6---7---8
%C / / \
%C 15 5 1---2 9
%C \ \ / /
%C 14 4---3 10
%C \ /
%C 13--12--11
%C .
%C In Glinski's hexagonal chess, a knight (N) can move to these (o) cells:
%C .
%C . . . . .
%C . . o o . .
%C . o . . . o .
%C . o . . . . o .
%C . . . . N . . . .
%C . o . . . . o .
%C . o . . . o .
%C . . o o . .
%C . . . . .
%C .
%C a(n) stays constant at 72085 for n >= 177 since 72085 is also the last cell visited by knight moves on a spirally numbered infinite hexagonal board, moving to the lowest unvisited cell at each step.
