%N a(n) = |{1 <= k <= n: n + pi(k^2) is prime}|, where pi(.) is given by A000720.
%C Conjecture: (i) a(n) > 0 for all n > 4.
%C (ii) If n > 1 then n + pi(k*(k-1)) is prime for some k = 1, ..., n.
%C (iii) For any integer n > 1, there is a positive integer k <= (n+1)/2 such that pi(n + k*(k+1)/2) is prime.
%C (iv) Any integer n > 1 can be written as p + pi(k*(k+1)/2), where p is a prime and k is among 1, ..., n-1.

%e a(2) = 1 since 2 + pi(1^2) = 2 is prime.
%e a(6) = 1 since 6 + pi(6^2) = 6 + 11 = 17 is prime.
%e a(10) = 1 since 10 + pi(5^2) = 10 + 9 = 19 is prime.
%e a(21) = 2 since 21 + pi(2^2) = 23 and 21 + pi(9^2) = 43 are both prime.
%e a(24) = 1 since 24 + pi(21^2) = 24 + 85 = 109 is prime.
