Heh, I wrote that without seeing Hatterson's answer.

Interesting that Hatterson has made the same error as the puzzle setter.

I was referring to the gaps in the series where there aren't any P'primes. 8 to 15 and 32 to 63 etc.
That is because binaries in these ranges have an even number of digits and, I ascertain, all pallindromic binaries of even length are multiples of 3 - hence not primes, except 3 (binary 11) itself which is length 2 and pallindromic.
