    Let SS be a set of primes. We call an mm-tuple (a1,,am)(a_1,\ldots,a_m) of distinct, positive integers SS-Diophantine, if for all iji\neq j the integers si,j:=aiaj+1s_{i,j}:=a_ia_j+1 have only prime divisors coming from the set SS, i.e. if all si,js_{i,j} are SS-units. In this paper, we show that no SS-Diophantine quadruple (i.e.~m=4m=4) exists if S={3,q}S=\{3,q\}. Furthermore we show that for all pairs of primes (p,q)(p,q) with p<qp<q and p3mod4p\equiv 3\mod 4 no {p,q}\{p,q\}-Diophantine quadruples exist, provided that (p,q)(p,q) is not a Wieferich prime pair

    On Simultaneous Palindromes

    A palindrome in base gg is an integer NN that remains the same when its digit expansion in base gg is reversed. Let gg and hh be given distinct integers >1>1. In this paper we discuss how many integers are palindromes in base gg and simultaneously palindromes in base hh
