# --description--
|

|

Triangle, square, pentagonal, hexagonal, heptagonal, and octagonal numbers are all figurate (polygonal) numbers and are generated by the following formulae:
|
||
|
||
| Type of Number | Formula | Sequence |
|
||
| -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------- |
|
||
| Triangle | P<sub>3</sub>,<var><sub>n</sub></var>=<var>n</var>(<var>n</var>+1)/2 | 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, ... |
|
||
| Square | P<sub>4</sub>,<var><sub>n</sub></var>=<var>n</var><sup>2</sup> | 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, ... |
|
||
| Pentagonal | P<sub>5</sub>,<var><sub>n</sub></var>=<var>n</var>(3<var>n</var>−1)/2 | 1, 5, 12, 22, 35, ... |
|
||
| Hexagonal | P<sub>6</sub>,<var><sub>n</sub></var>=<var>n</var>(2<var>n</var>−1) | 1, 6, 15, 28, 45, ... |
|
||
| Heptagonal | P<sub>7</sub>,<var><sub>n</sub></var>=<var>n</var>(5<var>n</var>−3)/2 | 1, 7, 18, 34, 55, ... |
|
||
| Octagonal | P<sub>8</sub>,<var><sub>n</sub></var>=<var>n</var>(3<var>n</var>−2) | 1, 8, 21, 40, 65, ... |

The ordered set of three 4-digit numbers: 8128, 2882, 8281, has three interesting properties.
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>The set is cyclic, in that the last two digits of each number is the first two digits of the next number (including the last number with the first).</li>
|
||
<li>Each polygonal type: triangle (P<sub>3,127</sub> = 8128), square (P<sub>4,91</sub> = 8281), and pentagonal (P<sub>5,44</sub> = 2882), is represented by a different number in the set.</li>
|
||
<li>This is the only set of 4-digit numbers with this property.</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
|
||
Find the sum of the only ordered set of six cyclic 4-digit numbers for which each polygonal type: triangle, square, pentagonal, hexagonal, heptagonal, and octagonal, is represented by a different number in the set.

# --hints--
|
||
|
||
`cyclicalFigurateNums()` should return a number.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
assert(typeof cyclicalFigurateNums() === 'number');
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
`cyclicalFigurateNums()` should return 28684.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
assert.strictEqual(cyclicalFigurateNums(), 28684);
|
||
```
