%N Triangle T(n,k) of number of ways of arranging q nonattacking semi-queens on an n X n toroidal board, where 0 <= k <= n.

%C T(0,0):=1 for combinatorial reasons.

%C A semi-queen can only move horizontal, vertical and parallel to the main diagonal of the board. Moves parallel to the secondary diagonal are not allowed.

%C Instead of a board on a torus, you can imagine that the semi-queens can leave a flat board on one side and re-enter the board on the other side.

%F T(n,0) = 1.

%F T(n,1) = n^2.

%F T(n,2) = n^2*(n-1)*(n-2)/2.

%F T(n,3) = n^2*(n-1)*(n-2)*(n^2-6n+10)/6.

%F T(2n+1,2n+1) = A006717(n).

%F T(2n,2n) = 0.
