Problem
Three members of the Euclid Middle School girls' softball team had the following conversation.
Ashley: I just realized that our uniform numbers are all -digit primes.
Bethany : And the sum of your two uniform numbers is the date of my birthday earlier this month.
Caitlin: That's funny. The sum of your two uniform numbers is the date of my birthday later this month.
Ashley: And the sum of your two uniform numbers is today's date.
What number does Caitlin wear?

Solution 1
The maximum amount of days any given month can have is , and the smallest two-digit primes are
and
. There are a few different sums that can be deduced from the following numbers, which are
and
, all of which represent the three days. Therefore, since Bethany says that the other two people's uniform numbers are earlier, so that means Caitlin and Ashley's numbers must add up to
. Similarly, Caitlin says that the other two people's uniform numbers are later, so the sum must add up to
. This leaves
as today's date. From this, Caitlin was referring to the uniform wearers
and
, telling us that her number is
, giving our solution as
.
