%N The number of quadratic residues (mod p) greater than p/2, where p=prime(n).
%C Sequence A063987 lists the quadratic residues (mod p) for each prime p. When p=1 (mod 4), there are an equal number of quadratic residues less than p/2 and greater than p/2. When p=3 (mod 4), there are always more quadratic residues less than p/2 than greater than p/2.

%e The quadratic residues of 19, the 8th prime, are 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 16, 17. Three of these are greater than 19/2. Hence a(8)=3.
