COMMENTS
The n-th 3-almost prime function applied to itself. This is the 3-almost prime equivalent of A091022, the latter being the n-th 2-almost prime function applied to itself. Note that this new iterated 3-almost prime sequence begins with the meaning of "Life, the Universe and Everything" and then generalizes to include the number of playing cards in a deck and the boiling point of water on the Fahrenheit scale.

FORMULA
a(n) = A014612(A014612(n)).
EXAMPLE
a(1) = 3-almost-prime(3-almost-prime(1)) = 3-almost-prime(8) = 42.
a(2) = 3-almost-prime(3-almost-prime(2)) = 3-almost-prime(12) = 52.
a(3) = 3-almost-prime(3-almost-prime(3)) = 3-almost-prime(18) = 76.
