This sequence, A113692, contains semiprimes from the center straight left along the x-axis in the semiprime spiral of A113688-A113689. A113690 contains semiprimes from the center straight right along the x-axis in the semiprime spiral. A113691 contains semiprimes from the center straight down the y-axis in the semiprime spiral. A113693 contains semiprimes from the center straight up the y-axis in the semiprime spiral.

EXAMPLE
a(4) = 4*9^2 - 7*9 + 4 = 265 = 5 * 53.
a(5) = 4*10^2 - 7*10 + 4 = 334 = 2 * 167.
a(6) = 4*11^2 - 7*11 + 4 = 411 = 3 * 137.
a(4), a(5) and a(6) are horizontally adjacent in the semiprime spiral, hence part of a clump and not isolated semiprimes as in A113688. a(9), a(10) and a(11) are another such horizontal string of 3 adjacent semiprimes.
a(46) = 4*151^2 - 7*151 + 4 = 90151 = 17 * 5303 is the greatest member under 10^5 (it is coincidence that this integer ends, base 10, with the same 151 that is the index of the quadratic).
