Table of n, a(n) for n=0..42.

Example

a(0)=167 because the only determinants not achievable by permuting the positions of the matrix elements -4...+4 are +-81,+-83 and +-85, i.e. a(0)=2*A097399(0)-6+1=167 (+1 for det=0).
a(1)=207 because all values -102...+102 and +-104 can be represented as determinant of a matrix whose elements are a permutation of the 9 numbers -3...5.
