# --description--
|
|
|
|
We shall define a square lamina to be a square outline with a square "hole" so that the shape possesses vertical and horizontal symmetry.
|
|
|
|
Given eight tiles it is possible to form a lamina in only one way: 3x3 square with a 1x1 hole in the middle. However, using thirty-two tiles it is possible to form two distinct laminae.
|
|
|
|
If t represents the number of tiles used, we shall say that t = 8 is type L(1) and t = 32 is type L(2). Let N(n) be the number of t ≤ 1000000 such that t is type L(n); for example, N(15) = 832. What is ∑ N(n) for 1 ≤ n ≤ 10?

|
|
|
`euler174()` should return 209566.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert.strictEqual(euler174(), 209566);
|
|
```
