That would be on topic in the palindrome thread :xx:

___Keeping in mind of course that the business of palindromes is merely a consequence of base. Your 4444 in base ten a palindrome, is 10534 in base eight & not a palindrome.

___If you want a record everyday, simply rewrite your number in an appropriate base.

Hah...it took only 4 months!

Turtle, that will only work for a small subset of numbers. True, it will be often enough that it isn't anything noteworthy, but there we go.

All hail the great Tormod and his 5555, er, um, 5562...

 

Hurrah! Huzzah!

Thanks. Working my way to the ultraevil 6,666 now.

I must say, I miss when the top fifteen posters were listed along the side in the forum index. Of course, I shot up on to there, and now I'm almost pushed off! :Alien:

You know it's still on the portal page, right?

[pgrmdave]

yeah, I check it occasionally...but I miss being able to watch myself move up a rung :Alien:

[Dark Mind]

Yeah, I liked it on the Forum Index too :rant:.

All odd numbers n greater than or equal to 3 can be written as 11 in base n-1....

[Dark Mind]

I seem to remember you demonstrating that somewhere :rant:.

[C1ay]

All even numbers n greater than or equal to 8 can be written as 22 in base (n-2)/2.....

[Tormod]

Some even numbers are very, very odd.
