COMMENTS
| If n is composite, then there does not exist any bases greater than n for which its base reversal is prime. And if n is a prime, then there exists an infinite number of bases greater than n for which its base reversals are primes. Therefore the restriction to bases up to n only.

EXAMPLE
| a(5) = 3 because 5 = 101 in base 2 and its reversal 101 base 2 = 5, 5 = 12 in base 3 and its reversal 21 base 3 = 7, 5 = 11 base 4 and its reversal 11 base 4 = 5. 3,7,&5 are all primes.
