%N The number of vertices formed when every pair of n points, placed at the vertices of a regular n-gon, are connected by a circle and where the points lie at the ends of the circle's diameter.

%C Conjecture: for odd values of n all vertices are simple, other than those defining the diameters of the circles. No formula for n, or only the odd values of n, is currently known.

%C The author thanks Zach Shannon some of whose code was used in the generation of this sequence.

%C If n is odd, the circle containing the initial n points is not part of the graph (compare A370976-A370979). - _N. J. A. Sloane_, Mar 25 2024
