Examples
a(0) = 2 because 0^8 + 1^2 = 1 is not semiprime, but 0^8 + 2^2 = 4 = 2^2 is. a(1) = 3 because 1^8 + 1^2 and 1^8 + 2^2 are not semiprime, but 1^8 + 3^2 = 10 = 2 * 5 is semiprime. a(2) = 3 because 2^8 + 3^2 = 265 = 5 * 53 is semiprime, but 2^8 + 1^2 and 2^8 + 2^2 are not semiprimes. a(90) = 41 because 90^8 + 41^2 = 4304672100001681 = 6317 * 681442472693 and for no smaller k>0 is 90^8 + k^2 a semiprime. a(100) = 9 because 100^8 + 9^2 = 10000000000000081 = 34361 * 291027618521 and for no smaller k>0 is 100^8 + k^2 a semiprime.
