Suppose, the seed of any positive integer n is defined as follows:
seed(n) = n, if n < 10
= seed(s(n)), otherwise,
where s(n) indicates the sum of digits of n.
For example, seed(7) = 7, seed(248) = seed(2 + 4 + 8) = seed(14) = seed(1 + 4) = seed(5) = 5 etc.
How many positive integers n, such that n < 500, will have seed(n) = 9?
If a, a + 2 and a + 4 are prime numbers, then the number of possible solutions for a is:
