Examples

			a(3) = 1 with p = 2^(1-1) + 1^(3-1) + 3^(2-1) = 5, p - 2 = 3 and p + 6 = 11 all prime.
a(4) = 1 with p = 1^(3-1) + 3^(2-1) + 2^(4-1) + 4^(1-1) = 13, p - 2 = 11 and p + 6 = 19 all prime.
a(5) = 1 with p = 2^(4-1) + 4^(3-1) + 3^(1-1) + 1^(5-1) + 5^(2-1) = 31, p - 2 = 29 and p + 6 = 37 all prime.
a(6) = 1 with p = 4^(3-1) + 3^(1-1) + 1^(5-1) + 5^(2-1) + 2^(6-1) + 6^(4-1) = 271, p - 2 = 269 and p + 6 = 277 all prime.
a(10) > 0 since p = 4^(8-1) + 8^(5-1) + 5^(6-1) + 6^(3-1) + 3^(9-1) + 9^(1-1) + 1^(7-1) + 7^(2-1) + 2^(10-1) + 10^(4-1) = 31723, p - 2 = 31721 and p + 6 = 31729 are all prime.
