COMMENT

Wieferich function of semiprimes.

This appears in the search for the semiprime analogy to A001220 Wieferich primes p: p^2 divides 2^(p-1) - 1. That is, the Wieferich function W(p) of primes p is W(p) = 2^(p-1) modulo p^2 and a (rare!) Wieferich prime (A001220) is one such that W(p) = 1. The current sequence is W(semiprime(n)). Any semiprime s for which W(s) = 1 would be a "Wieferich semiprime." This is also related to Fermat's "little theorem" that for any odd prime p we have 2^(p-1) == 1 modulo p.
