%N Initial terms of sets of 8 consecutive semiprimes with gap 2.

%C All terms == 11 (mod 18).

%C Also all terms of sets of 8 consecutive semiprimes are odd, e.g., {8129, 8131, 8133, 8135, 8137, 8139, 8141, 8143} is the smallest set of 8 consecutive semiprimes.

%C Note that in all cases "9th term" (in this case 8143+2=8145) is divisible by 9 and hence is not semiprime.

%C Also note that all seven "intermediate" even integers (in this case {8130, 8132, 8134, 8136, 8138, 8140, 8142}) have at least three prime factors counting with multiplicity. Up to n = 40*10^9 there are 5570 terms of this sequence.
