Sequence contains 45 semiprimes from the original 1991 RSA Factoring Challenge, and also eight from the 2001 extension of the challenge, and also includes as its fourth term RSA-129, which was not part of the 1991 challenge, but rather related to Martin Gardner's Mathematical Games column in the August 1977 issue of Scientific American. As no new challenges are forthcoming (The RSA Factoring Challenges ended in 2007), the sequence is finite and full, with 54 terms in total. The terms in the b-file are given in the ascending numerical order, regardless of the order they were published. The eight RSA numbers of the 2001 extension of the challenge occur at indices n=11 (RSA-576), n=14 (RSA-640), n=17 (RSA-704), n=21 (RSA-768), n=26 (RSA-896), n=31 (RSA-1024), n=48 (RSA-1536) and n=54 (RSA-2048).
