single  digit primes    =   2, 3, 5, 7

 

2, 3   ⇒       31   not possible         

2  5   ⇒       31   not possible         

2, 7   ⇒       31  not possible                              

3, 5   ⇒       (3, 5, 6 ,8 ,9)

3 ,7  ⇒       (3 ,  4 , 7 , 8 , 9)

5 , 7 ⇒        (4, 5 , 6, 7 , 9 )

 

P   = (3/6)   = (1/2)
