A356643
a(n) is the number of order-n magic triangles composed of the numbers from 1 to n(n+1)/2 in which the sum of the k-th row and the (n-k)-th row is same for all k and all three directions, counted up to rotations and reflections.

COMMENTS
The magic sum is n*(n*(n + 1)/2 + 1)/2.
FORMULA
a(n) = 0 if n is a multiple of 4 minus 1.
EXAMPLE
a(1) is trivially 1.
a(2) is trivially 0.
a(4k-1) for positive integers k is trivially 0 because the magic sums are not integers in these cases.
a(4) is 0.
