%N A094170 Number of quasi-triominoes in an n X n bounding box.
%C A094170 A quasi-polyomino is a polyomino whose cells are not necessarily connected.
For all m > 1 there are an infinite number of quasi-m-ominoes; a(n)
counts the quasi-triomino (quasi-3-omino) equivalence classes (under
translation, rotation by 90 degrees and vertical and horizontal symmetry)
whose members fit into an n X n bounding box.
%C A094170 This is different from A082966 because that sequence considers these
two (for example) as different ways of placing 3 counters on a 3
X 3 checkerboard:
%C A094170 ---
%C A094170 -X-
%C A094170 X-X
%C A094170 and
%C A094170 -X-
%C A094170 X-X
%C A094170 ---
%C A094170 whereas here they are the same quasi-polyomino.
%C A094170 a(n) can also be interpreted as the number of non-equivalent Game of
Life patterns on an n X n board that have exactly 3 live cells, etc.
