COMMENTS
This is to A163648 as semiprimes A001358 are to primes A000040.
The word "and" is excluded, 101 is "one hundred one" rather than "one hundred and one."
Number of syllables in n in American English is A075774.

FORMULA
{k: k is in A001358 and A075774(k) is in A001358}.
EXAMPLE
87 is in the sequence because 87 = 3 * 29 is semiprime, "eighty-seven" has 4 syllables, and 4 = 2^2 is also semiprime.
106 is in the sequence because 106 = 2 * 53 is semiprime and "one hundred six" has semiprime 4 syllables.
111 is in the sequence because 111 = 3 * 37 is semiprime and "one hundred eleven" has semiprime 6 = 2*3 syllables.
PROG
(Python) # uses function in A075774
from sympy import factorint
def issemiprime(n): return sum(factorint(n).values()) == 2
def ok(n): return issemiprime(A075774(n)) and issemiprime(n)
print([k for k in range(310) if ok(k)]) # Michael S. Branicky, May 27 2024
