%N Triangle T(n,k) = (n-k+1)-th prime, read by rows.

%C Repeatedly writing the prime sequence backwards.

%C Sequence B is called a reverse reluctant sequence of sequence A, if B is triangle array read by rows: row number k lists first k elements of the sequence A in reverse order. Sequence A104887 is the reverse reluctant sequence of sequence the prime numbers (A000040). - _Boris Putievskiy_, Dec 13 2012
