Table of n, a(n) for n=4..89.

Example

a(5) = 4 because ((A078587(5) - A078496(5))^2)/5 = ((3 - 7)^2)/5 < 4, where 3 (prime) = 7 (prime) = 2*5;
a(6) = 1 because ((A078587(6) - A078496(6))^2)/6 = ((5 - 7)^2)/6 < 1, where 5 (prime) + 7 (prime) = 2*6;
a(7) = 10 because ((A078587(7) - A078496(7))^2)/7 = ((3 - 11)^2)/7 < 10, where 3 (prime) + 11 (prime) = 2*7.
