%N Smallest prime p such that 2n+1 = 2p - q^3 for some odd prime q, or 0 if no such prime exists.

%C See the odd numbers of the form p^3 - 2q where p and q are primes (A224730, A185046).

%C a(n) = 0 for n = 13, 62, 171, 364, 665, 1098, ... and 2n+1 = 27, 125, 343, 729, ... are the odd cubes 3^3, 5^3, 7^3, ...

%C The corresponding primes q are in A224795.

%C Conjecture: The odd numbers different from a cube are of the form m = 2p - q^3 where p and q are prime numbers.

%C Remark: if m = c^3 for any odd integer c, then c^3 = 2p - q^3 is impossible because c^3 + q^3 = 2p => (c+q)(c^2 - cq + q^2) with c+q even of the form c+q = 2a => p = a(c^2 - cq + q^2) absurd because p is prime.

%e a(4) = 67 because, for (p, q) = (67, 5), 2*4 + 1 = 9 = 2*67 - 5^3 = 134 - 125 = 9.
