383 - a palindromic number!

Posted on 04/09/2017 21:40

yes,

and its prime 

and it's the sum of three other palindromic numbers

and those three palindromic numbers themselves are prime

and is the smallest prime that can be represented by the sum of a prime and its reversal: 383 = 241 + 142.

and it's a Woodhall prime 

and it's the only know multi digit Woodhall prime

and it's sexy prime (look that one up)

51 is divisible by 17 and by 3 and so is not prime. If the components of a number are divisible by 3 then the number is. So in the case of 51 .... 5 plus 1 equal 6 which is divissable by 3 and hence so is 51

Mickeysf, surely the reason base ten is the norm is because we have ten digits on our hands.

Which number is the odd one out - and why?

6, 22, 40, 51, 57, 77, 81


Many thanks for your attempts at solving the question.

You'll love this.

The answer is 40 – all the others come with Rice.

I'll get my coat.

40 is sweet & sour King prawns on the menu I'm reading, it comes with boiled rice but you can pay extra to change that to fried rice. 

6 is also an odd one out as its a single digit number. It's also prawn toast (without rice) 

81 is also an odd one out as its Chicken Maryland and as such is the only one which is not a Chinese dish.wink

Can any one fill in the spaces and explain this sequence.

...._,13,_,34,_....

The key to the middle number may open the door to the puzzle!
