RE: Mini-challenge: First Prime of form 403333...
Well, my WP 34S quickly ran through the 19 digit value before overflowing. My '50g is at home and I'm at work.

What's left? I've got Mathematica 10 on my Surface Pro 3 in my work bag. Lessee:

x=403;
d=3;
While[
!PrimeQ[x],
x=10x+3;
d++
];
Print[d];
Print[x];

That ran in under a second with 'd' being sizeable (and the printout of 'x' being more so). I won't spoil the fun with the actual values, though.

Thank you, Joe! How you done it?
