EXAMPLE
a(3) = 88 as, in the first quadrant, the three 3-step SAWs that have the first and last visited lattice point being mutually visible are:
.
X
|
X---. . X
| | |
X---. X---. X---.---.
.
The sum of square end-to-end displacements of these three walks is 1 + 5 + 5 = 11. They can be walked in eight different ways on a square lattice thus a(3) = 11 * 8 = 88.
