I have investigated the puzzle for cube and reverse also, and the smallest examples of "3, 4 & 5 primes" are given below:

a) p1 = 5 -> p2 = 521 -> p3 = 167024141.

b) p1 = 41243 -> p2 = 70957362735107 ->
p3 = 340072580562292758983063684559587385662753 ->
p4 = 7771387902509461541804448596476171134994618019090021926170209536132534500779209350826609131671267667238
