Extending tic-tac-toe (Posted on 2014-10-23)

In a standard 3x3 tic-ta-toe there are 8 distinct possibilities to create “three in a row”- 3 horizontal, 3 vertical and 2 diagonal.

How many ways are there in a three-dimensional 5x5x5 tic-tac-toe?

How about 6x6x6 ?

The formula works for n=9 (that is it matches my computer output for n=9).
