After extending the search up to 10000, it also seems that for the 
following pairs there are no a(n)<=t(k) for all n>k:

t(k) k
0    10
1    15
2    60
4    96
5    210
8    330
11   420
12   570
17   600
19   630
24   840
25   870
27   990
31   1050
34   1260
35   1320
36   1470
44   1560

A lot of new sequences arise!
