COMMENTS
Conjecture: a(n)>0 for all n>2. Moreover, if n>2 is not among 12, 18, 105, 522, then there is 0<k<n/2 such that
k^2+(n-k)^2-3(n-1 mod 2) is prime and also JacobiSymbol[k,p]=1 for any prime divisor p of n+3(n-1 mod 2).
This conjecture has been verified for n up to 2*10^8. It is stronger than Ming-Zhi Zhang's conjecture that any odd integer n>1 can be written as x+y (x,y>0) with x^2+y^2 prime (see A036468).
EXAMPLE
a(33)=1 since 4^2+29^2=857 is prime and JacobiSymbol[4,33]=1.
a(24)=1 since 10^2+14^2-3=293 is prime and JacobiSymbol[10,24+3]=1.
