%N Number of n-digit base-3 deletable primes.
%C A prime p is a base-b deletable prime if when written in base b it has the property that removing some digit leaves either the empty string or another deletable prime. "Digit" means digit in base b.
%C Deleting a digit cannot leave any leading zeros in the new string. For example, deleting the 2 in 2003 to obtain 003 is not allowed.
%t b = 3; a = {1}; d = {2};
%t For[n = 2, n <= 10, n++,
%t p = Select[Range[b^(n - 1), b^n - 1], PrimeQ[#] &];
%t ct = 0;
%t For[i = 1, i <= Length[p], i++,
%t c = IntegerDigits[p[[i]], b];
%t For[j = 1, j <= n, j++,
%t t = Delete[c, j];
