T. D. Noe, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10000

Example

a(5) = 2 because the 5th prime (11) is half the sum of the 7th and 3rd prime (17+5) or half the sum of the 8th and 2nd prime (19+3).
a(8) = 0 because the 8th prime (19) cannot be expressed as (1/2)*(prime(8+k) + prime(8-k)) for any k.

Mathematica

nn=1000; p=Prime[Range[2*nn]]; Table[s=Take[p, n-1] + Reverse[Take[p, {n+1, 2n-1}]]; Count[s, 2*p[[n]]], {n, nn}]
