A159295 Number of ways that a tile in the form of a strip of n congruent regular hexagons stuck together on successive parallel edges can be surrounded by one layer of copies of itself in a plane. Ways that differ by rotation or reflection are not counted as different. The surrounded tile is the exact surrounded region. +0

FORMULA

a(1) = 1, a(2) = 721, and if n > 2 then a(n) = (1/144)*(n^6 + 30*n^5

+ 463*n^4 + 3132*n^3 + 11506*n^2 + 10716*n - 1152

+ (n odd)(9*n^2 + 90*n + 261))
