Comments

Coordinates are given on a hexagonal lattice with X-axis and Y-axis as follows:

0 ---- X

Examples

			The Sierpinski arrowhead curve starts (on a hexagonal lattice) as follows:
                         +
                        27\
                           \

                 +          +----+
                23\        /20  19\
                   \      /        \
                    +----+          +
                    22   21        /18
                                  /
            +----+               +

         3\        /6               16  15\

          /        \      /        \      /
    +----+          +----+          +----+
    0    1          8    9          12   13
- hence a(3) = a(6) = a(15) = a(16) = 2.
