COMMENTS
If p >= 5 is a prime number it can be written as p = 6m-1 or p = 6m+1. The identities ((6m-1)^2 + 2)/3 = (2m)^2 + (2m)^2 + (2m-1)^2 and ((6m+1)^2 + 2)/3 = (2m)^2 + (2m)^2 + (2m+1)^2 show that the number (p^2 + 2)/3 can be written as a sum of 3 squares of integers in at least one way.

EXAMPLE
For n = 3, p = prime(3) = 5, (5^2+2)/3 = 9 = 2^2 + 2^2 + 1^2, so a(3) = 1.
For n = 9, p = prime(9) = 23, (23^2+2)/3 = 177 = 13^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 = 8^2 + 8^2 + 7^2, so a(9) = 2.
For n = 17, p = prime(17) = 59, (59^2+2)/3 = 1161 = 34^2 + 2^2 + 1^2 = 33^2 + 6^2 + 6^2 = 24^2 + 11^2 + 4^2 = 31^2 + 14^2 + 2^2 = 31^2 + 10^2 + 10^2 = 30^2 + 15^2 + 6^2 = 29^2 + 16^2 + 8^2 = 28^2 + 19^2 + 4^2 = 28^2 + 16^2 + 11^2 = 26^2 + 22^2 + 1^2 = 26^2 + 17^2 + 14^2 = 24^2 + 24^2 + 3^2 = 24^2 + 21^2 + 12^2 = 20^2 + 20^2 + 19^2, so a(17) = 14.
