A Prime New Year

2011 is not only a prime number, but it's the sum of three consecutive prime numbers (661+673+677), and also the sum of eleven consecutive primes (157+163+167+173+179+181+191+193+197+199+211).

If you reverse the digits of 2011 (1102) and square it (1102² = 1214404), you get the reverse of the digits when you square 2011 itself (2011² = 4044121).

2011 is 2⁸ in base 5. (Any ideas on why we typically use base 10?)
