Comments

a(n) differs from A171611 beginning at term a(264). To show the difference, the first 270 terms are listed.

Conjecture: a(n) > 0 for all n > 4.

This is a much stronger version of the Goldbach Conjecture.

Example

For n < 264, please refer to examples at A171611.
For n = 264, 2n=528. A240710 has terms {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, 211, 223, 227, 229, 233, 239, 241, 251, 257, 263, 269, 271, 277, 281, 283, 293, 307, 311, 313, 317, 331, 337, 347, 349, 353, 359, 367, 373, 379, 383, 389, 397, 401, 409, 419, 421, 431, 433, 439, 443, 449, 457, 461, 463, 467, 479, 487, 491, 499, 503, 509, 521} up to 528, where prime number 523 < 528 is not in the set, such that 528 = 5 + 523 is not counted in this sequence but is counted in A171611. So a(264) = A171611(264)-1 = 25-1 = 24.
