%N Primes which remain prime when rightmost digit is removed.

%C After a(2), all the terms in this sequence have second digit from right 1, 3, 7, or 9.

%e a(7)= 71 which is prime. Removing the rightmost digit gives 7, which is also prime.

%e a(16)= 191 which is prime. Removing the rightmost digit gives 19, which is also prime.

%p KD:= proc() local a,b; a:= ithprime(n); b:=floor(a/10); if isprime(b) then return (a) :fi; end: seq(KD(),n=1..1000);
