%N Balance index of each prime.
%C a(n) = the number of values of k for which the n-th prime is equal to the arithmetic average of the k primes above and below it.
%C The average of the first n balance indexes appears to reach a global maximum of 0.588 when n = 85, (prime(85) = 439).

%e a(3) = 1 because the third prime, 5, equals (3 + 7)/2.
%e a(16) = 3 because the sixteenth prime, 53, equals (47 + 59)/2 = (41 + 43 + 47 + 59 + 61 + 67)/6 = (31 + 37 + 41 + 43 + 47 + 59 + 61 + 67 + 71 + 73)/10.
