%C A238597 Conjecture: (i) a(n) > 0 for all n > 1, and a(n) = 1 for no n > 195.
%C A238597 (ii) For any integer n > 1, there is a prime p < 2*n with 2*pi(p) + 1 (or 2*pi(p) - 1) and 2*n + p both prime.
%C A238597 Part (i) of this conjecture is an extension of the conjecture in A238580.

%e A238597 a(9) = 1 since 5, 2*pi(5) + 1 = 2*3 + 1 = 7 and 5*(2*9-1) - 2 = 5*17 - 2 = 83 are all prime.
%e A238597 a(28) = 1 since 3, 2*pi(3) + 1 = 2*2 + 1 = 5 and 3*(2*28-1) - 2 = 3*55 - 2 = 163 are all prime.
%e A238597 a(195) = 1 since 71, 2*pi(71) + 1 = 2*20 + 1 = 41 and 71*(2*195-1) - 2 = 27617 are all prime.
