%N Numbers n for which the sum of the odd members and the sum of the even members in the Collatz (3x+1) trajectory are both semiprime.

%C The corresponding pairs of semiprimes are (9, 46), (9, 58), (9, 82), (94, 446), (178, 838), (95, 538), (9, 226), (411, 1894), (20499, 82366), (259, 1366), (493, 2446), (362, 1942), ...

%e 6 is in the sequence because the Collatz trajectory is 6 -> 3 -> 10 -> 5 -> 16 -> 8 -> 4 -> 2 -> 1 => the sum of the odd members is 3 + 5 + 1 = 9 = 3*3 and the sum of the even members is 6 + 10 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 = 46 = 2*23.
