%N Smaller of two consecutive primes which are anagrams of each other.

%C Smaller members of Ormiston prime pairs.

%C 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.

%C 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.

%C "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]

%C Dickson's conjecture would imply that the sequence is infinite, e.g. that there are infinitely many k for which 1913+3972900*k and 1931+3972900*k form an Ormiston pair. - _Robert Israel_, Feb 23 2017

%e 1913 and 1931 are two successive primes.

%e 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).
