COMMENTS
Odd numbers k such that A071294((k-1)/2) = A000010(k)/4.
For each odd composite number m > 9 the number of witnesses <= phi(m)/4. For numbers in this sequence the ratio reaches the maximal possible value 1/4.
The semiprime terms of this sequence are of the form (2*m+1)*(4*m+1) where 2*m+1 and 4*m+1 are primes and m is odd.

EXAMPLE
15 is in the sequence since out of the phi(15) = 8 numbers 1 <= b < 15 that are coprime to 15, i.e., b = 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 11, 13, and 14, 8/4 = 2 are witnesses for the strong pseudoprimality of 15: 1 and 14.
