%N A127309 a(n) = |E(GF(p))| - (p+1) where E(GF(p)) is the group of rational points 
               on the elliptic curve E: y^2 + y = x^3 - x^2 mod p and the prime 
               p is p(n) or p(n+1) according as n < 5 or n >= 5.
%C A127309 E is singular over GF(p(5)) = GF(11) so we take p != 11.
%C A127309 Hasse proved that |a(n)| <= 2*sqrt(p) where p is p(n) or p(n+1) according 
               as n < 5 or n >= 5.
%C A127309 Elkies proved that a(n) = 0 for infinitely many n.

%F A127309 a(n) = -b(p) where q*Prod(k=1 to oo, ((1 - q^k)(1 - q^11k))^2) = Sum(k=1 
               to oo, b(k)*q^k) and p is p(n) or p(n+1) according as n < 5 or n
