%C Conjecture: a(n) > 0 for all n > 36.

%C This is stronger than Goldbach's weak conjecture finally proved by H. A. Helfgott in 2013.

%e a(16) = 1 since 2*16 - 1 = 3 + 11 + 17 with 3, 11, 17, pi(3) = 2, pi(11) = 5 and pi(17) = 7 all prime.

%e a(179) = 1 since 2*179 - 1 = 83 + 83 + 191 with 83, 191, pi(83) = 23 and pi(191) = 43 all prime.
