%e The prime 2657 is in the sequence because the set {57, 67, 65, 27, 25, 26} contains only one two-digit prime.

%e The prime 1021 is in the sequence because the set {21, 1, 2, 11, 12, 10} contains only one prime with an even number of digits.

%e The prime 1579 is not in the sequence because the set {79, 59, 57, 19, 17, 15} contains four two-digit primes.

%e The number 2087 is not in the sequence because the set {87, 7, 8, 27, 28, 20} does not contain any prime with an even number of digits.
