+Prime digit replacements
+Problem 51
+
+By replacing the 1st digit of the 2-digit number *3, it turns out that six of
+the nine possible values: 13, 23, 43, 53, 73, and 83, are all prime.
+
+By replacing the 3rd and 4th digits of 56**3 with the same digit, this 5-digit
+number is the first example having seven primes among the ten generated numbers,
+yielding the family: 56003, 56113, 56333, 56443, 56663, 56773, and 56993.
+Consequently 56003, being the first member of this family, is the smallest prime
+with this property.
+
+Find the smallest prime which, by replacing part of the number (not necessarily
+adjacent digits) with the same digit, is part of an eight prime value family.
