Hello Math-Fun, We look for integers that are the sum of certain primes: 32 = 3 + 29 117 = 19 + 19 + 79 119 = 11 + 11 + 97 127 = 19 + 29 + 79 139 = 11 + 31 + 97 ... If we keep the first digit of the summed terms and concatenate them, we form the sum again, in those equations. Any others? (yes, there is sometimes a trick: the last equation produces 169 = 11 + 61 + 97 and 179 = 11 + 71 + 97, for instance). Best, É.
