elementary number theory - Flirtatious Primes




Here's a possibly interesting prime puzzle. Call a prime $p$ flirtatious if the sum of its digits is also prime. Are there finitely many flirtatious primes, or infinitely many?


Answer



These are tabulated at the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences. It appears to be known that there are infinitely many, and a link is given to a recent paper of Harman. Some high-powered math is involved.
