FORMULA
Numbers k such that Hep(k) = k*(5*k-3)/2 is semiprime.
Numbers k such that A000566(k) is a term of A001358.
Numbers k such that A001222(A000566(k)) = 2.
Numbers k such that A001222(k*(5*k-3)/2) = 2.
Numbers k such that [k/2 is prime and 5*k-3 is prime] or [k is prime and (5*k-3)/2 is prime].
EXAMPLE
a(1) = 4 because Hep(4) = 4*(5*4-3)/2 = 34 = 2 * 17 is semiprime.
a(2) = 5 because Hep(5) = 5*(5*5-3)/2 = 55 = 5 * 11 is semiprime.
a(10) = 34 because Hep(34) = 2839 = 17 * 167 is semiprime and this is also the first iterated heptagonal semiprime Hep(34) = Hep(Hep(4)).
a(20) = 101 because Hep(101) = 25351 = 101 * 251 is semiprime [and brilliant].
