Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N Numbers n such that exactly one of {2^n-1, 2^n+1, 2^n+3} is semiprime.
%C Roughly analogous to A226116 (numbers n such that one of 2^n-1 or 2^n+1 is semiprime, but not both); but for one out of 3 in the set rather than 1 out of 2.
%e 6 is in the sequence because 2^6 - 1 = 63 = 3^2 * 7 has three prime factors (with multiplicity), 2^6 + 1 = 65 = 5 * 13 is semiprime, and 2^6 + 3 = 67 is prime.
