Find my number (Posted on 2011-12-19) Difficulty: 2 of 5
My number:
1. Is a 3-digit number.
2. All its digits are prime digits.
3. A number formed by its 1st 2 digits is prime.
4. So is the number formed by its last 2 digits.
5. It is the smallest number satisfying the above conditions.

Find it.

Rem: The digits in my number do not have to be distinct.

573 doesn't work as 57=3*19.

373 is the only one of the four remaining that is itself prime, per Ady's original intent, and so is not only the smallest, but also the only number satisfying that intent.
