a(n) is the number of pieces on the outside of a (n+1) X (n+1) X (n+1) Rubik's cube. For n > 0: corners = 8, edges = 12*(n-1), center pieces = 6*(n-1)^2. - Demilade Runsewe, Jan 08 2025

			For n = 1 we get the 8 corners of the cube; for n = 2 each face has 9 points, for a total of 8 + 12 + 6 = 26.

Sequence found by reading the line segment from 1 to 34 together with the line from 34, in the direction 34, 130, ..., in the rectangular spiral whose vertices are the generalized 18-gonal numbers A274979.
The spiral begins as follows:
