Conjecture: a(n)>0 for all n>7.
This has been verified for n up to 10^8. It implies that there are infinitely many cousin primes.
Zhi-Wei Sun also made some other similar conjectures, e.g., he conjectured that any integer n>17 can be written as x+y (x>0, y>0) with 2x-3, 2x+3 and 2xy+1 all prime, and each integer n>28 can be written as x+y (x>0, y>0) with 2x+1, 2y-1 and 2xy+1 all prime.

EXAMPLE

a(25)=1 since 25=13+12 with 3*13-2, 3*13+2 and 2*13*12+1=313 all prime.
