%N Number of (unordered) ways of writing 2n+1 as a sum of 3 odd primes.

%C The two papers of Helfgott appear to provide a proof of the Odd Goldbach Conjecture that every odd number greater than five is the sum of three primes. (The paper is still being reviewed.) - _Peter Luschny_, May 18 2013; _N. J. A. Sloane_, May 19 2013
