Twin and reversible (Posted on 2019-02-20) Difficulty: 2 of 5
Below is an example of twin & reversible primes:
(173313197, 173313199); and (791313371, 991313371)

Find the smallest non trivial pair with similar features .

(3,5)(3,5)
and
(5,7)(5,7)
are obviously trivial.

(11,13)(11,31) I guess is semi-trivial, as one of its members is palindromic.

(71,73)(17,37) would be the first non-trivial pair.

(1031, 1033) (1301, 3301) would be first to share the feature in the given pair that each of the reversals is larger than the original prime.

The non-reversed pairs are shown below, both semi-trivial and non-trivial (the first 100 cases).
