Comments

A prime p is a base-b deletable prime if when written in base b it has the property that removing some digit leaves either the empty string or another deletable prime.

Deleting a digit cannot leave any leading zeros in the new string. For example, deleting the 2 in 2003 to obtain 003 is not allowed.
