COMMENTS
The first different term of this sequence to A002375 is a(107).
Conjecture: for n >= 3, this sequence is always positive.
This is a stronger version of the Goldbach Conjecture.
EXAMPLE
For n <= 106, refer to examples in A002375.
For n = 107, 2n=214. A240699 up to 214 gives {3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97, 101, 103, 107, 109, 113, 127, 131, 137, 139, 149, 151, 157, 163, 167, 173, 179, 181, 191, 193, 197, 199}. We have 214 = 17+197 = 23+191 = 41+173 = 47+167 = 83+131 = 101+113 = 107+107. Seven instances found. So a(107)=7.
Where as for A002375, there is one more instance as 3+211, however 211 is not a term in A240699.
MATHEMATICA
a240699 = {3}; Table[s = 2*n; While[a240699[[-1]] < s, p = a240699[[-1]]; While[p = NextPrime[p]; ((NextPrime[p] - p) > 6) && (6 < (p - NextPrime[p, -1]))]; AppendTo[a240699, p]]; pos = 0; ct = 0; While[pos++; pos <= Length[a240699], p = a240699[[pos]]; If[p <= n, If[MemberQ[a240699, s - p], ct++]]]; ct, {n, 1, 110}]
