%N Number of ordered ways of writing n = i + j, where i is a prime and j is of the form k*(k+1), k > 0.
%C Based on a posting by _Zhi-Wei Sun_ to the Number Theory Mailing List, Mar 23 2008, where he conjectures that a(2n+1) > 0 for n >= 2.
%C _Zhi-Wei Sun_ has offered a monetary reward for settling this conjecture.
%C No counterexample below 10^10. - _D. S. McNeil_
