COMMENTS
Conjecture: a(n)>0 for all n>11.
This implies that there are infinitely many twin primes and also infinitely many sexy primes. It has been verified for n up to 10^9. See also A199800 for a weaker version of this conjecture.
Zhi-Wei Sun also conjectured that any integer n>6 not equal to 319 can be written as p+k with p, p+6, 3k-2+(n mod 2) and 3k+2-(n mod 2) all prime.

EXAMPLE
a(21)=1 since 21=11+10 with 11, 11+6, 6*10-1 and 6*10+1 all prime.
MATHEMATICA
