%N Smallest palindromic prime that generates a palindromic prime pyramid of height n.
%C Start with a palindromic prime p; look for smallest palindromic prime that has previous term as a centered substring and has 2 more digits (i.e., one more digit at each end); repeat until no such palindromic prime can be found; then height(p) = number of rows in pyramid. Each row of pyramid must be the smallest prime that can be used. Then a(n) = smallest value of p that generates a pyramid of height n.
