For those who enjoyed today’s palindromic number challenges…
Start with a 2-digit number such as 32
Reverse it and add the result to the original number 32 + 23 = 55
After one reversal you get a palindromic number!
Try another 2-digit number such as 57
Reverse it and add the result to the original number 57 + 75 = 132
It is not palindromic, so reverse the answer and add it again:
132 + 231 = 363 – after two reversals it is palindromic!
CHALLENGE:
How many palindromic numbers can you find after one reversal?
How about after two reversals?
After three reversals?
After more than three reversals?
(HINT: 89 and 98 both take 24 reversals to make them palindromic!!)
Good luck!
