What is the first multidigit palindromic prime to appear in the decimal expansion of Pi?

This number is also the sum of the first three 3-digit palindromic primes.

I've memorised enough digits of PI to find the 383 without having to look more up.

Ah, OK.

I'm afraid I've only mastered 3.14159. No rain man.

I've only memorized the first 20, as that's usually way more than enough to overflow the precision of any calculating device I'm using that doesn't have Pi as a built-in constant. Smile

There was a story going around that some state legislator proposed a bill to define PI as the integer 3. He said it would make it easier for school children to learn. If the story true, I fear for our students! Smile

Do search for "Indiana PI Bill". This was in 1897 and did not pass.

Not one of Indiana's finest moments in legislative history, but, in retrospect, not much less crazy than some of the bills that are still being proposed today.
