%N Let p = n-th prime; a(n) = number of pairs (i,j) with 0 < i < p, 0 < j < p such that ij == 1 mod p and i and j have opposite parity.

%C If we let p=2n+1 run through all odd numbers >=3 and consider only i coprime to p, the sequence becomes 0, 2, 0, 4, 4, 6, 0, 10, 4, 4, 12, 14, 8, 18, 4, 12, 12, 14, 8, 18... [R. J. Mathar, Aug 07 2010]

%e For p = 13, the pairs are (2,7), (5,8), (6,11) and their reversals. So a(6) = 6.
