  Let $(X,\tau)$ be a Hausdorff space and $n\in\omega$. We prove that if $X$
admits a continuous selection over $\mathcal{F}_{n}(X)$ (nonempty subsets of
$X$ of cardinality at most $n$), then for every $n\leq m\leq 2n$ such that $m$
is not a prime number, $X$ admits a continuous selection over $[X]^m$ (subsets
of $X$ of cardinality $m$). As a consequence of this, a space $X$ admits a
continuous selection for every natural number if and only if the same is true
for every prime number. For Hausdorff spaces $(X,\tau)$ which admit continuous
selections over $[X]^2$, we characterize the existence of continuous selections
over $[X]^n$ for $n\geq 2$, in terms of a covering-type property.
