Odd primes never die (Posted on 2010-05-20) Difficulty: 4 of 5
I 've found an interesting table of numbers in an old issue of JMR, dedicated to astounding trivia regarding primes.
Erasing all the digits in the table's footnotes I got a challenging, albeit solvable puzzle:
The XX consecutive primes from X to XX sum up to the prime number XXX.
Also when arranged in groups of three, each group sums up to a prime number.
Furthermore, those partial sums with their digits reversed, also sum up to the same sum as before the reversal!

Try to reconstruct the trivia : both the table and the text.

program is still running, by my calculations it should complete by the end of the weekend, so far it seems to have leveled off at 378 solutions but it still has a ways to go so it could very well find more solutions.
