%N Numbers n such that (2^n+1)/3 is a semiprime.

%C First unknown: 1123.

%C If (2^n+1)/3 is a semiprime, n must be prime or the square of a prime; the only known square of a prime in this sequence is 49.

%e a(1) = 29 so (2^29+1)/3 = 178956971 = 59 * 3033169 is a semiprime.

%Y Cf. A000978, A085724, A007583.
