Conjecture: a(n)>0 for all odd n>4676 and even n>30986.

This conjecture has been verified for n up to 5*10^7. It implies Goldbach's conjecture, Lemoine's conjecture and the twin prime conjecture.

Examples

			a(11)=1 since 11=5+2*3, and both 3(5-3)-1=5 and 3(5-3)+1=7 are prime.
a(16)=2 since 16=11+5=13+3, and 3(11-5)-1, 3(11-5)+1, 3(13-3)-1, 3(13-3)+1 are all prime.
