COMMENTS

Smaller members of Ormiston prime pairs.

Given the n-th prime, it is occasionally possible to form the (n+1)th prime using the same digits in a different order. Such a pair is called an Ormiston pair.

Ormiston pairs occur rarely but randomly. It is thought that there are infinitely many but this has not been proved. They always differ by a multiple of 18. Ormiston triples also exist - see A075093.

"Anagram" means that both primes must not only use the same digits but must use each digit the same number of times.  [From Harvey P. Dale, Mar 06 2012]

EXAMPLE

1913 and 1931 are two successive primes.

Although 179 and 197 are composed of the same digits, they do not form an Ormiston pair as several other primes intervene (i.e. 181, 191, 193).
