Puzzle 948. Vampire numbers again Carlos Rivera asks for a PVN* (Prime Vampire Number) equal to the square of a palprime. Rivera's best approach is a VN = 3191569913965884999654819334486225 = (56493981218939465)^2. This is not a PVN but just a VN because the squared integer is a palindrome, not a palprime. Q. Send your smallest solution (and three more if possible)? ______ * See Puzzle 199
