%S 1,2,3,3,2,3,4,2,3,3,4,3,3,3,2,2,3,3,4,3,4,2,3,3,3,3,2,4,4,3,4,3,2,2,

%N Number of bases (numbering systems, including unary) in which the n-th prime is a palindrome having at least two digits.

%C Each prime p > 2 is palindrome in at least base 1 and base p-1, since p = 1*(p-1)^1 + 1*(p-1)^0 and p = 1*1^(p-1) + 1*1(p-2) + ... + 1*1^1 + 1*1^0.

%F a(n) = A126071(prime(n)). - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Jun 19 2014

%e a(621) = 9 because the 621st prime (4591) is a palindrome in 9 bases: base 1, 19, 20, 24, 33, 37, 51, 54 and 4590 (4591 = 1*4590^1 + 1*4590^0).

%o (PARI) ispal(v) = {for(i=1, #v\2, if (v[i] != v[#v-i+1], return(0));); return(1);};

%o a(n) = {p = prime(n); 1 + sum(i=2, p, ispal(digits(p, i)));} \\ _Michel Marcus_, Sep 04 2013
