%N Number of primes p < n with q(n-p) + 1 prime, where q(.) is the strict partition function (A000009).

%C Conjecture: a(n) > 0 for all n > 2. Also, for each n > 6 there is a prime p < n with q(n-p) - 1 prime.

%C We have verified the conjecture for n up to 10^5.

%C See also A238458 for a similar conjecture involving the partition function p(n).

%e a(3) = 1 since 2 and q(3-2) + 1 = 1 + 1 = 2 are both prime.

%e a(28) = 1 since 17 and q(28-17) + 1 = q(11) + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13 are both prime.
