%N A073610 Number of primes of the form n-p where p is a prime.
%C A073610 a(p) = 2 if p-2 is a prime else a(p) = 0. If n = 2p, p is a prime then 
               a(n) is odd else a(n) is even. As p is counted only once and if q 
               and n-q both are prime then the count is increased by 2. ( Analogous 
               to the fact that perfect squares have odd number of divisors).
%C A073610 a(2k+1) = 2 if (2k-1) is prime, else a(2k+1)=0 (for any k). This sequence 
               can be used to re-describe a couple of conjectures: the Goldbach 
               conjecture == a(2n) > 0 for all n>=2; twin primes conjecture == for 
               any n, there is a prime p>n s.t. a(p)>0.
%C A073610 Number of ordered ways of writing n as the sum of two primes.

%e A073610 a(16) = 4 as there are 4 primes 3,5,11 and 13 such that 16-3,16-5,16-11and 
               16-13 are primes.
