%N a(n) is the median of the primes between n^2 and (n+1)^2.

%C The median of an even number of values is assumed to be defined as the arithmetic mean of the two central elements in their sorted list. The special case of the primes 2 and 3 in the interval [1,4] is excluded because their median would be 5/2.
