A reduced Latin square of order n is an n X n matrix where each row and column is a permutation of 1..n and the first row and column are 1..n in increasing order. - Michael Somos, Mar 12 2011

The Stones-Wanless (2010) paper shows among other things that a(n) is 0 mod n if n is composite and 1 mod n if n is prime.
