FORMULA

a(n)=(1/4!)*(6^n-4*3^n-3*2^n+12). E.g.f. for m-block bicoverings of an n-set is exp(-x-1/2*x^2*(exp(y)-1))*Sum_{i=0..inf} x^i/i!*exp(binomial(i, 2)*y).

EXAMPLE

There are 4 4-block bicoverings of a 3-set: {{1},{2},{3},{1,2,3}}, {{2},{3},{1,2},{1,3}}, {{1},{3},{1,2},{2,3}} and {{1},{2},{1,3},{2,3}}.
