Question

unanimoose · Answer

First, do you know what a palindrome number is?

unanimoose · Answer

Well let's use 2552. The palindrome is going to be four digits so the 2nd and 3rd digits should sum up to something greater than 99, to make the sum of the entire number non-palindrome. The least number is this because 2552 + 2552 = 5104, which is not palindrome. Palindrome is a number such a 3113 which is the same backwards.

Yes, I know what a palindrome is. It is a whole number number which reads the same forward as backwards.

Why use 2552 in the first place? @Unanimoose
