%N Numbers n such that 4n - 1 and 4n + 1 are both semiprimes.

%C This is to semiprimes as A045753 is to primes.

%e a(1) = 14 because 56 - 1 = 5*11 and 56 + 1 = 3*19 are semiprimes, and this is the first number having this property.

%e a(2) = 23 because 92 - 1 = 7*13 and 92 + 1 = 3*31 are semiprimes, and this is the second number having this property.

%e a(3) = 30 because 120 - 1 = 7*17 and 120 + 1 = 11*11 are semiprimes, and this is the third number having this property.
