%N Primes p such that the next prime after p can be obtained from p by adding the product of the digits of p.

%C I call these primes (multiplicative) "pointer primes", in the sense that such primes p "point" to the next prime after p when the product of the digits of p is added to p. 23 is the only pointer prime < 10^7 which does not contain the digit "1". Are there other pointer primes not containing the digit "1"?

%C See Prime Puzzle 251 link for several arguments that 23 is the only pointer prime not containing digit "1".

%e 23 + product of digits of 23 = 29, which is the next prime after 23. Hence 23 belongs to the sequence.

%t r = {}; Do[p = Prime[i]; q = Prime[i + 1]; If[p + Apply[Times, IntegerDigits[p]] == q, r = Append[r, p]], {i, 1, 10^6}]; r
