How many primes are there whose usual base-10 representation is a strictly alternating sequence of 1's and 0's? (Example: 101)We will have practice sessions for the Putnam exam every Thursday this semester, 5:30-7:00 p.m. in RLM 10.176, starting Thursday, September 13. We will provide a steak dinner for everyone. Just kidding! But we do provide pizza for sustenance. The contest itself will be December 1. For more information or to register for the competition, please see Dave Rusin, RLM 9.140.
