%N a(n) = |{0 < k <= n: the number of Sophie Germain primes among 1, ..., k*n is a Sophie Germain prime}|.

%C Conjecture: a(n) > 0 for all n > 1.

%C See also A237839 for a similar conjecture involving twin primes.

%e a(20) = 1 since 11 is a Sophie Germain prime, and there are exactly 11 Sophie Germain primes among 1, ..., 6*20 (namely, they are 2, 3, 5, 11, 23, 29, 41, 53, 83, 89, 113).

%t a[n_]:=Sum[If[SG[sg[k*n]],1,0],{k,1,n}]
