%N Number of n-digit base-5 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 = 5; a = {2}; d = {2, 3};

%t   p = Select[Range[b^(n - 1), b^n - 1], PrimeQ[#] &];

%t    c = IntegerDigits[p[[i]], b];
