    You do understand that 2 is the smallest prime number, correct?

    If you do not understand that then this problem is not one you can solve till you understand more about prime numbers.

    Therefore all the numbers that start and end with "1" do not count as valid for this problem. I have no idea if the ones with "1" in the middle count as valid.
