Primes in the sumset {A000584 + A000584 + A000584 + A000584 + A000584 + A000584 + A000584 + A000584 + A000584 + A000584}.

There must be an odd number of odd terms in the sum, either eleven odd (as with 11 = 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5), two even and nine odd (as with 73 = 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 and 557 = 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 3^5 + 3^5), four even and seven odd (as with 619 = 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 3^5 + 3^5), six even and 5 odd terms (as with 197 = 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 and 439 = 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 3^5), eight even and 3 odd terms (as with 743 = 1^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 3^5 + 3^5) or ten even terms and one odd term (as with 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 3^5). The sum of two positive 5th powers (A003347), other than 2 = 1^5 + 1^5, cannot be prime.

Examples

			a(1) = 11 = 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5.
a(2) = 73 = 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 2^5 + 2^5.
a(3) = 197 = 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5.
a(4) = 439 = 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 3^5.
a(5) = 557 = 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 3^5 + 3^5.
a(6) = 563 = 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 3^5.
a(7) = 619 = 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 3^5 + 3^5.
a(8) = 743 = 1^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 3^5 + 3^5.
