Consider four ending digits of prime numbers, i.e., {1, 3, 7, 9}. The permutation {3, 7, 1, 9} occurs at the prime 53, where the distinct frequencies of each of the four ending digits less than or equal to 53 can be written (high-to-low) as "3719", i.e., there are five 3s, four 7s, three 1s, two 9s. Question: At what prime p can we say that all 24 permutations of the ending digits have occurred? The sequence begins as {3, 7, 1 ,9}, {3, 7, 9, 1}, {7, 3, 1, 9}, ... , corresponding to primes 53, 239, 347, etc. Puzzle by G. L. Honaker, Jr. (See PC716407555481)
