A338808 Irregular table read by rows: The number of k-faced polyhedra, where k>=4, created when an n-antiprism, formed from two n-sided regular polygons joined by 2n adjacent alternating triangles, is internally cut by all the planes defined by any three of its vertices.

Examples

			The 4-antiprism is cut with 16 internal planes defined by all 3-vertex combinations of its 8 vertices. This leads to the creation of 128 4-faced polyhedra, 56 5-faced polyhedra, 8 6-faced polyhedra, and 3 8-faced polyhedra, 195 pieces in all. Note the number of 8-faced polyhedra is not a multiple of 4 - they lie directly along the z-axis so need not be a multiple of the number of edges forming the regular n-gons.
