Jun 12, 2014 at 10:36 comment added Jeremy Rouse @David - Your formula and mine are the same if $p > 2$. Note that Ceiling[2/8] = 1.
Jun 11, 2014 at 22:31 comment added The Masked Avenger You could also say floor((p+7)/8) for all odd primes, and floor (p/8) for all even primes.
Jun 11, 2014 at 21:47 comment added David S. Newman There's something not displaying properly in my computer's rendition of the formula for the number of solutions. Thanks for the answer. My purely experimental version of the formula is Ceiling[p/8] with no exceptions as far as I carried the computation.
