%N A075855 Maximum number of black squares on an n X n chessboard (with a black
square in at least one corner) that can be covered by a single path,
traveling only to adjacent black squares.
%F A075855 For n odd, a(n)=(n-1)^2/2+1. For n even, it is conjectured that a(n)=(n^2-n+2)/
2 (it is easy to show this is a lower bound).
%e A075855 For n=4, here is a path with 7 squares; the "x" is not visited:
%e A075855 1.3.
%e A075855 .2.4
%e A075855 7.5.
%e A075855 .6.x
