COMMENT

It seems that one or more primes nearly always occur before finding the first such semiprime for a given n. There seems to be a high correlation with the n^6 + k^2 sequence (A109201) with 24 times less than 100 the same values A109201(n) = A109202(n) for [n = 0,1,2,6,8,10,20,22,25,27,30,34,39,45,47,54,58,65,71,75,88,91,92,96].

EXAMPLE

a(0) = 2 because 0^7 + 1^2 = 1 is not semiprime, but 0^7 + 2^2 = 4 = 2^2 is.

a(1) = 3 because 1^7 + 1^2 and 1^7 + 2^2 are not semiprime, but 1^7 + 3^2 = 10 = 2 * 5 is semiprime.

a(2) = 1 because 2^7 + 1^2 = 129 = 3 * 43 is semiprime.

a(80) = 63 because 80^7 + 63^2 = 20971520003969 = 47363 * 442782763 and for no smaller k>0 is 80^7 + k^2 a semiprime.

a(100) = 9 because 100^7 + 9^2 = 100000000000081 = 47309 * 2113762709 and for no smaller k>0 is 100^7 + k^2 a semiprime.
