Comments

Each member of a chiral pair is a reflection but not a rotation of the other. The Schläfli symbol of the 24-cell is {3,4,3}. It has 24 octahedral facets. It is self-dual.

Formula

a(n) = (96*n^8 + 144*n^12 - 48*n^16 - 64*n^18 - 192*n^20 - 60*n^24 +

48*n^32 + 32*n^36 - 5*n^48 + 72*n^50 - 12*n^52 - 12*n^60 + n^96) / 1152.

a(n) = Sum_{j=2..Min(n,96)} A338958(n) * binomial(n,j).

a(n) = A338952(n) - A338953(n) = (A338952(n) - A338955(n)) / 2 = A338953(n) - A338955(n).
