COMMENT

Given the n-th prime, it is occasionally possible to form the (n+1)th prime using the same digits in a different order. Such a pair is an Ormiston Pair.

Ormiston Pairs occur rarely but randomly. It is thought that there are infinitely many but this has not been proved. They always differ by a multiple of 18. Ormiston Triples may exist but must be very large.

EXAMPLE

Although 179 and 197 are composed of the same digits, they do not form an Ormiston Pair as several other primes intervene (i.e. 181, 191, 193.)

MATHEMATICA

a = {1}; b = {2}; Do[b = Sort[ IntegerDigits[ Prime[n]]]; If[a == b, Print[ Prime[n - 1], ", ", Prime[n]]]; a = b, {n, 1, 10^4}]
