FORMULA
{n: n + A001358(n) is in A002113} == {n: n + A001358(n) = R(n)} == {n: n + A001358(n) = A004086(n)}.
EXAMPLE
a(1) = 1 because 1st semiprime = 4, 4+1=5 is trivially a palindrome.
a(2) = 2 because 2nd semiprime = 6, 6+2=8 is trivially a palindrome.
a(3) = 11 because 11th semiprime = 33, 33+11=44 is nontrivially a palindrome.
a(4) = 17 because 17th semiprime = 49, 49+17=66 is nontrivially a palindrome.
a(5) = 20 because 20th semiprime = 57, 57+20=77 is nontrivially a palindrome.
a(8) = 35 because 35th semiprime = 106, 106+35=141 is nontrivially a palindrome.
