Prime Problem

Fill in each of the ten labeled boxes in the grid below with a different digit from 0 to 9 to form eight two- and three-digit numbers in the rows and columns (four reading across and four reading down).   Can you find a way to fill the grid so that the following statements are true?

  1. Each digit from 0 to 9 is used once.
  2. No number begins with 0.
  3. Seven of the eight numbers are prime; the number that is not prime reads across.
  4. One of the prime numbers is the sum of two other numbers.
