An Odd Couple (Posted on 2009-01-10) Difficulty: 2 of 5
There are 43 3-digit prime numbers which, when reversed, also yield a prime number. (Eight of these are actually consecutive primes).

Of the 43, 15 are simply palindromes (e.g. 929), but of the remaining 14 pairs of numbers (called 'emirp's), one pair in particular exhibits two unique characteristics, one of which is rather surprising.

What are the numbers, and what are their unique characteristics?

I didn't see anything else clear. I guess it takes some more looking
