A098147 is difference between first odd semiprime > 10^n and 10^n.

a(n) = minimum integer k such that 7^n + k is an element of A046315. a(n) = minimum integer k such that A000420(n) + k is an element of A046315.

a(0) = 8 because 7^0 + 8 = 9 = 3^2 is an odd semiprime.

a(1) = 2 because 7^1 + 2 = 9 = 3^2 is an odd semiprime.

a(2) = 0 because 7^2 + 0 = 49 = 7^2 is an odd semiprime; there are no more zero values.

a(3) = 12 because 7^3 + 12 = 355 = 5 * 71.

a(4) = 6 because 7^4 + 6 = 2407 = 29 * 83 (brilliant).

a(5) = 10 because 7^5 + 10 = 16817 = 67 * 251.

Cf. A000351, A001358, A098147.
