If we weaken the condition, to allow you to choose the replacement digit there are definitely semi-sturdy primes.
For instance, 23 is semi-sturdy as you can replace 2 by 1 or 3 by 9 and both 13 and 29 are prime.
The interesting question then becomes: how many?
- qsort 6y agoThis is most likely an open problem. If there existed infinitely many 'semi-sturdy' primes, this would imply that several prime 2-tuples match infinitely many primes, but results in that area are limited AFAIK.
