Substring primes
- Task
Find all primes in which all substrings (in base ten) are also primes.
This can be achieved by filtering all primes below 500 (there are 95 of them), but there are better ways.
- Advanced
Solve by testing at most 15 numbers for primality. Show a list of all numbers tested that were not prime.

starts with a hardcoded list of 1 digit primes ( 2, 3, 5, 7 ) and constructs the remaining members of the sequence (in order) using the observations that the final digit must be prime and can't be 2 or 5 or the number wouldn't be prime. Additionally, the final digit pair cannot be 33 or 77 as these are divisible by 11.

Here we must use cut (!
