%N Least positive integer k such that p(k)^2 + p(k*n)^2 is prime, where p(.) is the partition function given by A000041, or 0 if no such k exists.

%C Conjecture: Any positive rational number r can be written as m/n, where m and n are positive integers with p(m)^2 + p(n)^2 prime.

%C For example, 4/5 = 124/155, and the number p(124)^2 + p(155)^2 = 2841940500^2 + 66493182097^2 = 4429419891190341567409 is prime.

%C We also guess that any positive rational number can be written as m/n, where m and n are positive integers with p(m)+p(n) (or p(m)*p(n)-1, or p(m)*p(n)+1) prime.

%e a(5) = 6 since p(6)^2 + p(6*5)^2 = 11^2 + 5604^2 = 31404937 is prime.
