Conjecture: (i) a(n) > 0 for all n > 7.

(ii) Any integer n > 9 can be written as k + m with k > 1 and m > 1 such that the least nonnegative residue of prime(k) modulo k and the least nonnegative residue of prime(m) modulo m are both prime.

We have verified a(n) > 0 for all n = 8, ..., 10^8.

Example

a(11) = 1 since 11 = 2 + 9, prime(2) = 3 == 1^2 (mod 2), and prime(9) = 23 == 5 (mod 9) with 5 prime.
a(16) = 1 since 16 = 12 + 4, prime(12) = 37 == 1^2 (mod 12), and prime(4) = 7 == 3 (mod 4) with 3 prime.
