%C Conjecture: a(n) > 0 for all n > 146.

%C We have verified this for n up to 52000.

%C The conjecture implies that there are infinitely many prime triples {p, p + 2, p + 6} with {prime(p), prime(p) + 6} a sexy prime pair. See A236509 for such primes p.

%H Zhi-Wei Sun, <a href="/A236508/b236508.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10000</a>

%e a(13) = 1 since 2*phi(3) + phi(10)/2 - 1 = 5, 5 + 2 = 7, 5 + 6 = 11 and prime(5) + 6 = 11 + 6 = 17 are all prime.

%e a(244) = 1 since 2*phi(153) + phi(244-153)/2 - 1 = 2*96 + 72/2 - 1 = 227, 227 + 2 = 229, 227 + 6 = 233 and prime(227) + 6 = 1433 + 6 = 1439 are all prime.
