%N Isolated semiprimes in the hexagonal spiral.

%C Isolated semiprimes in the hexagonal spiral of A003215 and A001399, which is centered on 0. Of course such a spiral can be constructed beginning with any integer. Centering on 0 gives the interesting partition and multigraph equalities of A001399.

%C Integers in A001358 which are not adjacent in any of six directions to any other integer in A001358 when arranged in the hexagonal spiral.

%C An analog of A113688 "Isolated semiprimes in the [square] spiral," and of the hexagonal prime spiral of [Abbott 2005; Weisstein, "Prime Spiral", MathWorld].

%C Unfortunately the original submission (which has been preserved as the "dead" sequence A335704) omitted the number 44 from the spiral, which has caused an enormous amount of trouble. - _N. J. A. Sloane_, Jun 27 2020
