%N Primes p such that there exist primes p'<p"<p"'<p""<p such that the concatenation of any two among the {p,...,p""} is prime.

%C Obviously, 2 and 5 cannot be part of such a 5-tuple.

%C Apart from 3, all the elements of the quintuple must have the same

%C residue mod 3, thus they are all = 1 or = -1 mod 6.

%C Two curious facts can be observed: for p=51721 and p=63601, there are

%C two possibilities for (p',p",p"',p""), which differ in both cases only

%C in p"": [p=51721, p""=44371 or 44683, p"'=22531, p"=12703, p'=8101],

%C resp. [63601, 26893 or 61417, 25939, 61, 7]. Secondly, the two

%C quintuples for p=51721 are followed by a quintuple whose sum is one of

%C smallest possible, only roughly half that of the two preceding

%C solutions.

%H Project Euler, <a href="https://projecteuler.net/problem=60">Problem 60: Prime pair sets</a>

%e The second such 5-tuple is [18433, 12409, 2341, 1237, 7].

%e The two quintuplets [51721, 44371, 22531, 12703, 8101]

%e /*sum=139427*/ and [51721, 44683, 22531, 12703, 8101] /*sum=139739*/

%e are followed by [55621, 18493, 991, 883, 733] /*sum=76721*/.

%e The next "degenerate" case is [63601, 26893, 25939, 61, 7]

%e /*sum=116501*/ and [63601, 61417, 25939, 61, 7] /*sum=151025*/.

%e The third "degenerate" case is [71341, 63277, 54583, 7741,

%e 241] /*sum=197183*/ and [71341, 63277, 54583, 36187, 241]

%e /*sum=225629*/.
