Ah yes, I hadn't realized that the integral of the given function is logloglogx.   Roll Eyes
 
Perhaps I should have asked how many terms are required for the sum to exceed 10.

Let N = Number of terms required for function to exceed 10
 
F(n): 1/loglog(n) for n > 2
N: 1
 
F(n): 1/log(n) for n > 1
N: 20
 
F(n): 1/n for n > 0
N: 33
 
F(n): 1/n for n > 0
N: 12367
 
F(n): 1/nlog(n) for n > 1
N: 104300
 
F(n): 1/[nlog(n)*loglog(n)] for n > 2
N: googolplex
