%N A114141 Difference between first odd semiprime > 3^n and 3^n.
%C A114141 A098147 is difference between first odd semiprime > 10^n and 10^n. How 
               can we prove that there exists an a(n) for all n? In this powers 
               of 3 sequence, does 2 occur infinitely often? Does every even integer 
               k > 0 occur?
%F A114141 a(n) = minimum integer k such that 3^n + k is an element of A046315. 
               a(n) = minimum integer k such that A000244(n) + k is an element of 
               A046315.
%e A114141 a(0) = 8 because 3^0 + 8 = 9 = 3^2 is an odd semiprime.
%e A114141 a(1) = 6 because 3^1 + 6 = 9 = 3^2 is an odd semiprime.
%e A114141 a(2) = 6 because 3^2 + 6 = 15 = 3 * 5 is an odd semiprime.
%e A114141 a(3) = 6 because 3^3 + 6 = 33 = 3 * 11 is an odd semiprime.
%e A114141 a(4) = 4 because 3^4 + 4 = 85 = 5 * 17 is an odd semiprime.
%e A114141 a(5) = 4 because 3^5 + 4 = 247 = 13 * 19 is an odd semiprime.
