	EXAMPLE	`a(1)=0, as only prime in range ]2,4] is 3, 11 in binary which has no space between its most and least significant bits. a(2)=1, as in that range there are two primes 5 (101 in binary) and 7 (111 in binary) and summing their middle bits we get 1. a(3)=2, as there are again two primes, 11 (1011 in binary) and 13 (1101 in binary) and summing the bits in the middle we get total 2.`
