%N Minimal nested base-4 palindromic primes with seed 0.

%C Using only base-4 digits 0,1,2,3, let s be a palindrome and put a(1) = s. Let a(2) be the least palindromic prime having s in the middle; for n > 2, let a(n) be the least palindromic prime have a(n-1) in the middle. Then (a(n)) is the sequence of minimal nested base-4 palindromic primes with seed s.
