%N Primes which can be written as sum of squares > 1.

%C By Sylvester's solution to the Frobenius problem, all integers greater than 4*9 - 4 - 9 = 23 can be represented as a sum of multiples of 4 and 9. Hence all primes except 2,3,5,7,11,19,23 are in this sequence. [_Charles R Greathouse IV_, Apr 19 2010]

%e A000040(11) = 31 = 3^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 2^2, therefore 31 is a term.
