%N Number of vertices among all distinct circles that can be constructed from a point on the origin and n equally spaced points on each of the +x,-x,+y,-y coordinates axes using only a compass.

%C A circle is constructed for every pair of the 1 + 4n points, the first point defines the circle's center while the second the radius distance. The number of distinct circles constructed from the points is A361622(n).

%C No formula for a(n) is currently known.
