COMMENT

Primes in which repeatedly deleting the least significant digit gives a prime at every step until a single digit prime remains.

Comment from Alexander R. Povolotsky (pevnev(AT)juno.com), Jan 22 2008: The subsequence which consists of the following "chain" of consecutive right truncatable primes:

73939133 , 7393913 , 739391 , 73939 , 7393 , 739 , 73 , (7)

yields the largest sum, compared with other chains formed from subsets of this sequence:

73939133 + 7393913 + 739391 + 73939 + 7393 + 739 + 73 (+ 7) = 82154588
