Examples
a(0) = 1 because the only prime knot with no more than 9 crossings with determinant 2*0+1=1 and s=0 is 0_1, the unknot. a(2) = 1 because the only prime knot with no more than 9 crossings with determinant 2*2+1=5 and s=0 is 4_1, the figure-8 knot. a(4) = 3 because the three prime knots with no more than 9 crossings with determinant 2*4+1=9 and s=0 are 6_1, 8_20, and 9_46.
