Comments

Translations are allowed, but not rotations or reflections.

A polyomino is 'kissing' if there exist two cells that touch only at a corner such that no cell exists touching both edgewise simultaneously.

First thirteen terms calculated by filtering the output of Redelmeier's Algorithm.

Example

The smallest kissing polyomino has area 7; its four rotations determine the first term in the sequence:
    OOO
    O O
    OO
