%N Figure 8's with 2n edges on the square lattice.

%C Rotations and reflections are distinct. 2n is the total number of edges in the figure. Each "figure 8" is two of the polygons counted by A002931 intersecting at a single point. Like A003304 but now the smaller loop need not be a simple square. - _Sean A. Irvine_, Mar 21 2017
