+# TASK #1 > Truncatable Prime
+# Submitted by: Mohammad S Anwar
+# Write a script to generate first 20 left-truncatable prime numbers in base 10.
+#
+# In number theory, a left-truncatable prime is a prime number which, in a given
+# base, contains no 0, and if the leading left digit is successively removed,
+# then all resulting numbers are primes.
+#
+# Example
+# 9137 is one such left-truncatable prime since 9137, 137, 37 and 7 are all
+# prime numbers.
