This BARS was updated because it was used as one of the BARS-of-the-Week for week 13 of the fall 2008 semester.
observe... 23 and 73 are both prime numbers 23 and 73 are both right-truncatable because their right-most digits can be truncated and the resulting numbers (2 and 7) are also prime 23 and 73 are both left-truncatable because their left-most digits can be truncated and the resulting numbers (3 and 3) are also prime 73 is a "permutable prime" because reversing the digits results in another prime number (37)
