Previous name was: Iterated hyperdiamond numbers, starting with 24-cell(2) = 24. Hyperdiamond numbers, figurate numbers based on the 4-dimensional 24-cell, have the formula 24-cell(n) = n^2*(3*n^2-4*n+2). This sequence is the hyperdiamond number of the hyperdiamond number of ... of 2.
The next term has 98 digits.
This need not start at 24-cell(2) = 24. For example, starting at a(0) = 3, which is not a hyperdiamond number, we have a(1) = 24-cell(3) = 3^2*((3*3^2)-(4*3)+2) = 153; and a(2) = 24-cell(24-cell(3)) = 24-cell(153) = 153^2*((3*153^2)-(4*153)+2) = 1629664353; and a(3) = 24-cell(24-cell(24-cell(3))) = 24-cell(1629664353) = 21159914972910583843562449776792301953.

Examples

			a(0) = 2 is the seed for this instance of the more general recurrence;
a(1) = 24-cell(2) = 2^2*(3*2^2-4*2+2) = 24;
a(2) = 24-cell(24-cell(2)) = 24-cell(24) = 24^2*(3*24^2-4*24+2) = 941184.

Comments

Tetrahedral numbers Tet(n) = A000292(n) = C(n+2, 3) = n(n+1)(n+2)/6 are obviously of order n^3, varying approximately with the cube of n. Taking the cube root and rounding down, we get the new sequence.

Examples

			a(18) = 10 because floor((18*19*20/6)^(1/3)) = floor(1140^(1/3))  = 10.
