80% of all numbers under 10,000 solve in 4 or less steps. About 90% solve in 7 steps or less. A rare case, number 89, takes 24 iterations to become a palindrome. It takes the most steps of any number under 10,000 that has been resolved into a palindrome. But the number 196 has not yet been found to result in a palindrome even after 40,000,000 steps of inversions and additions that led to a number with 600,000,000 digits.




Thanks for the interesting post.

I'd be interested to see how the principles of palindromic alphanumericality bear on the Sator Arepo Tenet Opera Rotas.

You start.

64^2=4096+6904=11000+00011 = palindrome 11011 in base ten.

Nice move, wofahulicodoc.
