I wasn't sure how to interpret rule 2, so I watched the beginning of Simon's video, where it's explained more clearly: "each digit will contribute to at least one 2-digit prime".
I enjoyed solving this, although I got a bit bifurcational in the middle. After finishing it, I watched Simon's video. His solve was almost identical to mine, just faster as usual.
Thanks for the puzzle. (I think I solved this back when it appeared on CTC, but of course I don't remember any details from that long ago.)
