.
For n = 16, figure 1 shows the illustration of a(16) taken from the isosceles triangle of A237593. There are 98 cells in the first 16 rows of the diagram, so a(16) = 98.
Figure 2 shows the illustration of a(16) taken from an octant of the pyramid described in A244050 and A245092. There are 98 cells in the first 16 rows of the diagram, so a(16) = 98.
