Least number k among 1, ..., n such that pi(p+2*n) - pi(p+n) = pi(p+n) - pi(p) > 0 with p = prime(k), or 0 if such a number k does not exist, where pi(.) is given by A000720.

Conjecture: a(n) > 0 for all n > 1.
EXAMPLE
a(4) = 4 since prime(4) = 7 with pi(7+2*4) - pi(7+4) = pi(7+4) - pi(7) = 1 > 0, but pi(2+2*4) - pi(2+4) = 1 < pi(2+4) - pi(2) = 2, pi(3+2*4) - pi(3+4) = 1 < pi(3+4) - pi(3) = 2, and pi(5+2*4) - pi(5+4) = 2 > pi(5+4) - pi(5) = 1.
