%N Length of the largest left-truncatable prime (in base n).

%C The next term (base 30) will be difficult to calculate because there are over a trillion left-truncatable primes in that base for each of digit-lengths 29-34. Nevertheless, the largest left-truncatable prime in this base can be estimated by theory to have a length of about 82. [_Hans Havermann_, Aug 16 2011]
