Conjecture: For every natural number k there are infinitely many semiprime pairs sp and sp' both sandwiched between semiprimes such that sp' - sp = 4k.
Note: For the case k=1 the pair of two consecutive semiprime triples will be called twin semiprime-triple with an analogy to twin prime.
The number centered between the triples of a twin semiprime-triple must be divisible by 36. Let n be the middle of such a twin semiprime-triple. It is trivial that n is divisible by 4, and that it is congruent to 0, 4, or 5 (mod 9). If it was congruent to 4, then n-1 and n+2 would both be divisible by 3, hence equal to 3 times a prime. But then those two primes would differ by 1, impossible except for primes 2, 3, which can be checked separately. A similar argument eliminates the case n == 5 (mod 9), so n must be divisible by 9. Conjecture by the author, proved by Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Dec 18 2011.
Members of this sequence must be twice the lesser of a twin prime. - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Dec 18 2011.

EXAMPLE
|
The first twin semiprime-triple is {{213,214,215},{217,218,219}} whereby a(1)=214. The fifteenth semiprime-triple is {{1891761,1891762,1891763},{1891765,1891766,1891767}} whereby a(15)=1891762. The separating numbers 216 and 1891764 are divisible by 36.
