%N The number of fixed kissing polyominoes with n cells.
%C Translations are allowed, but not rotations or reflections.
%C A polyomino is 'kissing' if there exist two cells that touch only at a corner such that no cell exists touching both edgewise simultaneously.
%C First thirteen terms calculated by filtering the output of Redelmeier's Algorithm.
