Never prime! (Posted on 2004-04-29) Difficulty: 3 of 5
12 can be made into a prime by changing the 2 to 3; likewise, 63 can be changed into a prime by changing the 6 to 7.

What is the smallest number that cannot changed into a prime by changing a single digit?

Are there infinitely many such numbers?

If you add eleven, you would be changing TWO digits at the same time.
