# --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. For example, using exactly thirty-two square tiles we can form two different square laminae:

With one-hundred tiles, and not necessarily using all of the tiles at one time, it is possible to form forty-one different square laminae. Using up to one million tiles how many different square laminae can be formed?
# --hints--
`differentHollowSquareLaminae()` should return `1572729`.
```js
assert.strictEqual(differentHollowSquareLaminae(), 1572729);
```
# --seed--
## --seed-contents--
```js
function differentHollowSquareLaminae() {
return true;
}
differentHollowSquareLaminae();
```
# --solutions--
```js
// solution required
```
