[net.math] New prime questions from Prof. Ziff

unbent@ecsvax.UUCP (Jay F. Rosenberg) (01/09/85)

	In the series:	13
			1113
			111113
			...
(odd number of '1's followed by a '3'), what's the first prime after 13?
	In the series:	101
			1001
			10001
			...
('1' followed by n '0's followed by 'l'), what's the first prime after 101?
"There is such a prime and it is constituted of an odd number of digits, but
I should like to meet it", writes Professor Ziff.
	"Where does he get these incessant questions?" writes Professor
Rosenberg.  Thanks for your help.
