Let us define a balanced sculpture of order n as follows:
2020-11-27 18:02:05 +00:00
2018-09-30 22:01:58 +00:00
A polyomino made up of n+1 tiles known as the blocks (n tiles) and the plinth (remaining tile);
2020-11-27 18:02:05 +00:00
the plinth has its centre at position (x = 0, y = 0);
2018-09-30 22:01:58 +00:00
the blocks have y-coordinates greater than zero (so the plinth is the unique lowest tile);
2020-11-27 18:02:05 +00:00
2018-09-30 22:01:58 +00:00
the centre of mass of all the blocks, combined, has x-coordinate equal to zero.

When counting the sculptures, any arrangements which are simply reflections about the y-axis, are not counted as distinct. For example, the 18 balanced sculptures of order 6 are shown below; note that each pair of mirror images (about the y-axis) is counted as one sculpture:
2018-09-30 22:01:58 +00:00
There are 964 balanced sculptures of order 10 and 360505 of order 15.How many balanced sculptures are there of order 18?

`euler275()` should return 15030564.

```js
assert.strictEqual(euler275(), 15030564);
