COMMENTS
A 4-dimensional simplex has 5 vertices and 10 edges. Its Schläfli symbol is {3,3,3}. Two oriented colorings are the same if one is a rotation of the other; chiral pairs are counted as two.
There are 60 elements in the rotation group of the 4-dimensional simplex. Each is an even permutation of the vertices and can be associated with a partition of 5 based on the conjugacy group of the permutation. The first formula is obtained by averaging their cycle indices after replacing x_i^j with n^j according to the Pólya enumeration theorem.

FORMULA
a(n) = (24*n^2 + 20*n^4 + 15*n^6 + n^10) / 60.
a(n) = C(n,1) + 38*C(n,2) + 1080*C(n,3) + 14040*C(n,4) + 85500*C(n,5) + 274104*C(n,6) + 493920*C(n,7) + 504000*C(n,8) + 272160*C(n,9) + 60480*C(n,10), where the coefficient of C(n,k) is the number of colorings using exactly k colors.
a(n) = A063843(n) + A331352(n) = 2*A063843(n) - A331353(n) = 2*A331352(n) + A331353(n).
