Problem

A natural number is a palindrome if when written in decimal notation, it can be read equally from left to right and from right to left, for example: 8, 23432, 6446.

Let $x_1<x_2 < \cdots < x_i<x_{i+1}< \cdots$ all be palindrome numbers. For each $i$ let $y_{i+1} = x_{i+1}-x_i$ .

How many different prime numbers does the set ${y_1,y_2,y_3,\cdots }$ have?
