Problems & Puzzles: Problems Problem 17.- The largest known sequence of consecutive and reversible primes. I found last year (August 3, 1998) the following sequence: {1193,1201,1213,1217,1223,1229,1231,1237,1249,1259} (See the Sloanes sequence A040104, and see also my Puzzle No. 20 ) All of the ten (10) members of this sequence are consecutive primes and also reversible (non-palindromic) primes; this last means that 1193 and 3911 are primes, 1201 and 1021 are primes, and so on. As far as I know this is the largest known sequence of this type. Questions: Solution Felice Russo has obtained (May 21, 1999) another sequence of 10 consecutive reversible non palindromic primes, 8 digits each: {91528739, 91528777, 91528807, 91528817, 91528819,
91528823 Jud McCranie sent (May 22, 1999) one more 10 members sequence of consecutive reversible and non palindromic primes, 9 digits each, starting in 302706311 and ending in 302706493. *** My feeling (CR) now - after this other two10 members sequences - is that an eleven members sequence of this type must exists... *** Jud McCranie has gotten - at last, 27/05/99 - a sequence of 11 terms: 1477271183 through 1477271387. Previously he got another sequences of 10 terms: |
