I went to change the clock on the microwave for daylight savings time. It asked me to put in the date as well numericallly. I tapped out 04-04-04. My son then said that this was a palindrome. I asked, what is a palindrome? My son said it is a number the same if it is read right to left or left to right.
In this case, 040404 is not really a palindrome, but it must have another name? Kind of reminds me of the Cubs first night game which was played (until it was rained out) on 8-8-88.
