A Prime Triplet (Posted on 2012-05-19) Difficulty: 3 of 5
The prime triplet (2, 3, 13) is interesting in that it can produce six primes using a product with a sum or difference:
2 + 3*13 = 41
3 + 2*13 = 29
13 + 2*3 = 19
3*13 - 2 = 37
2*13 - 3 = 23
13 - 2*3 = 7
Prove this is the only such prime triplet.
