%N Number of n-digit base-9 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 = 9; a = {4}; d = {2, 3, 5, 7};

%t For[n = 2, n <= 5, 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];

%t     If[t[[1]] == 0, Continue[]];

%t     If[MemberQ[d, FromDigits[t, b]], AppendTo[d, p[[i]]]; ct++;

%t   AppendTo[a, ct]];
