%N Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of symmetries of the n-dimensional hypercube that fix exactly 2*k facets; n,k >= 0

%C Equivalently the number of symmetries of the n-dimensional cross-polytope that fix exactly 2*k vertices.

%C If a facet of the hypercube is fixed, then the opposite facet must also be fixed.
