A pallindrome is a number or word that reads the same frontwards and backwards. For example, 11 is a number pallindrome. So is 464 and 7997. Think of words that read that same frontwards and backwards. How about MOM and POP? Now that you know what a pallindrome is, it is fun to make pallindromes from numbers that are not already pallindromes. All you need to do is add the number to the number written backwards. If your answer is not a pallindrome, then do the same thing again. See the example below:
84
+48
(84 written backwards)
132
(not a pallindrome yet)
+231
(132 written backwards)
363
(it's a pallindrome!) This example took 2 adding steps.
