Alternatively, a(n) is the number of ways to decompose (n,n,n) triplet into geometrically feasible four distinct unordered triplets of the form (x,y,z) with no pairs of triplets having equal value for the product x*y*z.

FORMULA
Conjecture: a(p) = A384311(p) for any prime p.
EXAMPLE
There are A384311(4) = 12 different ways to decompose a 4 X 4 X 4 cube into four noncongruent cuboids, but of those 12 ways, one partition {(4,2,1), (4,2,2), (4,3,2), (4,4,1)} contains two cuboids of volume 16 ((4,2,2) and (4,4,1)) which needs to be excluded. Therefore a(4) = 12-1 = 11.
