COMMENT

The first few values of n such that 509203*2^n - 1 is a semiprime, where k = 509203 (the conjectured smallest Riesel number), are: 3,4,16,34,61,82,124,142,163,171,... Conjecture: there are infinitely many semiprimes of this form.

EXAMPLE

a(33)=16 because k*2^33 - 1 is not a semiprime for k=1,2,...15, but 16*2^33 - 1 = 223 * 616318177 is.
