COMMENT

Haga's conjecture (see link below) is that if the integers from 1 to p^2 (p prime) are put in a p by p square in standard order, then there's a transversal consisting of primes; i.e. a set of p primes containing exactly one number in each row and column. E.g. for p=5 the primes 5, 7, 11, 19, 23 work. Since p is needed for the p-th column, primes less than p can't be used. a(n) is the number of primes available minus the number needed for the transversal.
