COMMENTS
a(n) = 1 if and only if n = 2*k^2 - 1 or n = 4*k^2 - 4*k for k >= 1.
a(n) = a(n+1) = 1 if and only if n = A001333(k)^2 - 2 for even k and A001333(k)^2 - 1 for odd k.

FORMULA
The n-volume of the unit regular n-simplex is sqrt(n+1)/(n!*2^(n/2)), so a(n) = A007913(n+1) for even n and A007913((n+1)/2) for odd n.
EXAMPLE
n | the n-volume of the
| unit regular n-simplex
2 | sqrt(3)/4 = A120011
3 | sqrt(2)/12 = A020829
4 | sqrt(5)/96 = A364895
5 | sqrt(3)/480
6 | sqrt(7)/5760
7 | 1/20160
8 | 1/215040
9 | sqrt(5)/5806080
