%N Semiprimes equal to the sum of three primes in arithmetic progression.

%F Conjecture: a(n) = 3*A000040(n+2). - _Zak Seidov_, Jun 28 2015

%F Every member of the sequence is 3 times a prime; it is believed that every prime >= 5 arises in this way. This is related to Goldbach's conjecture: see comments to A078611. - _Robert Israel_ and _Michel Marcus_, Jun 28 2015

%e a(1) = 15 because 15 = 3 + 5 + 7;

%e a(2) = 21 because 21 = 3 + 7 + 11.

%o (Magma) [3*NthPrime(n+2): n in [1..60]]; // _Vincenzo Librandi_, Jun 28 2015, assuming the conjecture holds

%Y Cf. A000040, A001358, A078611.
