%N The smallest number k that can be partitioned in n ways as the sum of two Blum numbers (A016105).

%e 1 cannot be written as the sum of two Blum numbers, so a(0) = 1.

%e Since A016105(k) >= 21, for k >= 1, the numbers 2 through 41 cannot be written as the sum of two Blum numbers. 42 = 21 + 21 = A016105(1) + A016105(1), so a(1) = 42.

%e 90 = 21 + 69 = A016105(1) + A016105(4), 90 = 33 + 57 = A016105(2) + A016105(3), and the numbers 1 to 89 cannot be written in two ways as the sum of two Blum numbers. Thus a(2) = 90.
