Can anyone help me please? I don't understand what is three prime number? :S

My english is not good...
Let my try to explane you on example:
**************************************
1274 - not

this is not three prime number because

127 - this is 3.-digit prime nubmer , but
274 - this is not 3.-digit prime number...
***************************************
1137 - is

this is three prime number because

113 - this is 3.-digit prime number, and
137 - this is 3.-digit prime number
***************************************

So every 3 consecutive digits in number X must be 3.-digit prime number...

I hope this help...

It's not true number is three digits prime number if any three digits are prime

"Pasha calls an integer a threeprime number if any three consecutive digits of this integer form a three-digit prime number."
So if we write number A as A[1]A[2]...A[n] (A[i] - i-th digit of this number), than whole number A will be 'threeprime' if and only if for each i=1,2..., n-2 number A[i]A[i+1]A[i+2] is prime number.

I understand now. Thanks a lot guys. The problem won't be problem anymore :)

Edit: Except one more thing? 3 digit number is threeprime only if the number is prime right?

Example: 101 is prime number so that means it's also a threeprime number right? Or that's not always right?
