A034304: Nonprime; becomes prime if any digit is deleted (zeros not allowed in the number). Sounds crunchy and active in the first 3 seconds, then there are large pockets of inactivity till the end.

One interesting observation is that there are only 4 even terms in the sequence. Notice that if an even term had three or more digits, then deleting any digit that is not the last digit would leave a number that is still even and greater than 2, so it could not be prime. Therefore, any even term in this sequence can only have two digits. Since deleting the first digit must give a prime number, the last digit has to be 2, the only even prime. Deleting the last digit must also give a prime number, so the first digit must be one of 2, 3, 5, or 7. Thus, the only possible even terms are 22, 32, 52, and 72. -- Lauren Yee
