%N A124479 From the game of Quod: number of "squares" on an n X n array of points 
               with the four corner points deleted.
%C A124479 We count all squares whose vertices are among the points; the sides of 
               the squares need not be horizontal or vertical.
%D A124479 Ian Stewart, How To Cut A Cake: and Other Mathematical Conundrums, Chap. 
               7.
%F A124479 (n^4 - n^2 - 48*n + 84)/12.
%e A124479 So for n=3 we have 5 points:
%e A124479 .....O
%e A124479 ....OOO
%e A124479 .....O
%e A124479 The only square is formed by the 4 outer points, agreeing with a(3)=1.
%e A124479 For n=4 we have 12 points:
%e A124479 .....OO
%e A124479 ....OOOO
%e A124479 ....OOOO
%e A124479 .....OO
%e A124479 There are 5 unit squares, 4 tilted ones with sides sqrt(2) and 2 tilted 
               ones with sides sqrt(5), agreeing with a(4)=11.
