COMMENTS

It is known that a(21)=1 and a(25)=0. Terms for n = 18, 19, 20, 22, 23, and 24 are unknown. Glaiser tabulates the number of centuries having 0, 1, 2,... primes for numbers up to 9000000. Glaiser's 1883 book is still in print!
a(24) does not exist because the only century having 24 primes is 0 to 99 -- the same century having 25 primes. From A020497, we see that a range of 101 numbers is required to find 24 primes. Dickson's conjecture implies that a(n) exists for n=18..23. [Charles R Greathouse IV, Feb 24 2011]
a(n) for n = 18..23 is greater than 10^10. Ribenboim discusses Dickson's conjecture in two books. - T. D. Noe, Feb 24 2011
a(19) <= 1108851311300675700427. - Donovan Johnson, Feb 28 2011
