Emirp Times (Posted on 2023-06-07) Difficulty: 3 of 5
We know that prime numbers whose reversal is a different prime number are called emirps.

For example, 149 is an emirp, since each of 149 and 941 is a prime number.

Accordingly, 1:49 is a emirp time because 149 is an emirp.

  1. Determine the total number of emirp times in 12 hours.
  2. Determine the total number of emirp times in 24 hours.

There are 44 emirps on the 12-hour clock and 67 on the 24-hour clock. Of course a 12-hour clock will have 88 emirp times in 24 hours, but I don't think that was the gist of part 2.
