Extractions: Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach Palindromes (Part 1) Madam I'm Adam... The word 'PALINDROME' comes from the Greek word palindromos , which means 'running back again'. A palindrome is any word, line or even complete poem which reads the same backwards as it does forwards. 'Madam, I'm Adam' is one of the best known palindromes but Eden's Adam never uttered it to his palindromic Eve (I have this from a very reliable source). Nonetheless, this form of wordplay is ancient. The epigrams of Nicodemus of Hereclea (300 BC?) and other ancient Greek writings contain palindromes. SOTADICS is another name for palindromes, after Sotades, a poet of this period who employed them frequently in his satirical poetry. Early ones reverse words...

Here are palindrome poems, many of which are long e.g. a typical one by Mike Maguire has over 100 letters. The longest palindrome which is a common word is redivider with 9 letters. This is a term often used to describe a phrase which can be made into another phrase or expression by moving the spaces between words and altering punctuation if necessary; the only proviso is that the letter-order is retained. The longest palindromes but which are uncommon words are the 11-letter detartrated and (in the 'Oxford English Dictionary' 1971 edition) tattarrattat There is also a whopping 27-letter single-word used in a palindrome, although the word is not itself a palindrome.

palindromes. A regular palindrome is a string of numbers or lettersthat is the same forward as backward. For example, the string
http://acm.uva.es/problemset/v4/401.html

Extractions: A mirrored string is a string for which when each of the elements of the string is changed to its reverse (if it has a reverse) and the string is read backwards the result is the same as the original string. For example, the string is a mirrored string because "A" and "I" are their own reverses, and and "E" are each others' reverses. A mirrored palindrome is a string that meets the criteria of a regular palindrome and the criteria of a mirrored string. The string "ATOYOTA" is a mirrored palindrome because if the string is read backwards, the string is the same as the original and because if each of the characters is replaced by its reverse and the result is read backwards, the result is the same as the original string. Of course, "A" "T" "O" , and "Y" are all their own reverses.

Extractions: Pesky Palindromes A palindrome is a sequence of one or more characters that reads the same from the left as it does from the right. For example, Z, TOT and MADAM are palindromes, but ADAM is not. Your job, should you choose to accept it, is to write a program that reads a sequence of strings and for each string determines the number of UNIQUE palindromes that are substrings. The input file consists of a number of strings (one per line), of at most 80 characters each, starting in column 1. For each non-empty input line, the output consists of one line containing the message: The string ' input string ' contains nnnn palindromes. where input string is replaced by the actual input string and nnnn is replaced by the number of UNIQUE palindromes that are substrings. For input string ADAM, the UNIQUE palindromes are A, D, M and ADA so the correct output would be The string 'ADAM' contains 4 palindromes. boy adam madam tot The string 'boy' contains 3 palindromes. The string 'adam' contains 4 palindromes. The string 'madam' contains 5 palindromes. The string 'tot' contains 3 palindromes. The 3 unique palindromes in 'boy' are 'b', 'o' and 'y'.

Extractions: I happen to like playing with words occasionally, and this page is dedicated to one such aspect - palindromes. The best palindromes are those which are both cohesive and make some sort of sense. (Ideally, they don't stretch the rules of grammar too far, either.) A random string of words which just happens to be the same when read in either direction is far less entertaining (and less impressive) than one in which the components contribute to a common theme. There are quite a few pages dedicated to palindromery on the net, and I don't want to bore you with a lot of links which are likely to become outdated because I don't have time to maintain them. You can always try a search on Google or a search on Yahoo , or check out Jim Kalb's Palindrome Connection . Finally, there is The Palindromist Online , web site of a dead tree magazine available only by snail mail. nyah ). Which is not to say that someone else might not have come up with some of them independently, and I'm happy to give credit if that is the case. I have a lot more variants of some of the items below, but these are the best (and you thought they couldn't get any worse !). A series of too many similar ones would just become boring...

A palindrome is a word, phrase or number which has the property of reading the same in either direction (the adjustment of spaces between letters is generally permitted). The word palindrome comes from the Greek words palin (back) and dramein (to run) meaning running back. Writing literature in palindromes is an example of constrained writing According to Bill Bryson 's Palindromes occur in many languages, but they are particularly prevalent in English due to the wide variety and frequent reversal of letter pairs within words.

Extractions: I've been fascinated with palindromes ever since I was a kid and my dad gave me a book entitled Palindromes and Anagrams by Howard W. Bergerson. Most of the palindromes in these lists are in that book. In addition to my own discoveries , I have managed to write two palindromic poems ( one has palindromic lines, and the other is a word unit palindrome). The following lists contain some of my favorite palindromes. John PS - Palindrome comes from the Greek words "palin" (again or back) and "dramein" (to run). So if you read that backwards, it translates loosely into "to run back." But ya gotta read it backwards, ya know. Legend:

http://www.tbaytel.net/~forslund/palindro.html

Extractions: Palindromes in ANS Palindromic numbers (also called palindromes), are numbers such as 7245427 which is the same number when the digits are reversed. Prime palindromes exist, but these must have an odd number of digits. In ENS (base ten), 101 is the first three digit prime palindrome. However in ANS, 101 = A1, so the first prime palindrome in ANS is 131. Some numbers in ENS are also palindromes in ANS. For example, 21 (base 10), is 10101 in binary in ENS and 1221 in binary in ANS, and both are palindromes. On the other hand, 1001001 is a binary palindrome in ENS, but converts to 112121 in ANS, which is not a palindrome. There is an interesting procedure commonly called the 196-Algorithm, that operates as follows. Select any number with two or more digits. Reverse the number and add it to the original number, and repeat the procedure on the sum until a palindrome results. In ENS, most numbers create palindromes, however, a palindrome for the number 196, has never been found - hence the name of the procedure. An interesting thing happens when ANS is applied to 196 :
Fun With Words: Palindromes
palindromes. A palindrome is a word or sentence that reads the same forward as itdoes backward. palindromes are a type of palingram called letter palingrams.
http://rinkworks.com/words/palindromes.shtml

Extractions: A palindrome is a word or sentence that reads the same forward as it does backward. The words a and I are perhaps the simplest and least interesting palindromes; the word racecar and the name Hannah are more interesting and illustrative. Neither spaces nor punctuation are usually taken into consideration when constructing sentences that are palindromes one of the most famous palindromes is A man, a plan, a canal, Panama but when the spaces are properly positioned as well, so much the better. An example would be the also famous palindrome Able was I ere I saw Elba , purportedly spoken by Napoleon, referring to his first sighting of the River Elba. Palindromes are a type of palingram called letter palingrams . A palingram is a sentence in which the letters, syllables, or words read the same backward as they do forward. The sentence, "He was, was he?" is a word palingram, because the words can be placed in reverse order and still read the same. The sentence, "I did, did I?" is not only a word palingram but a letter palingram (or palindrome) as well. A number of interesting palindromes are given below for your amusement. Can you make up your own?

http://www.iol.ie/~peter/num1.html

Extractions: Palindromes In a mathematical context a palindrome is a number that reads the same in either a forward or backward direction. In other words a palindrome (or palindromic number) is equal to its reverse. Thus for example 1331 is a palindrome. Such numbers have considerable psycho-mathematical significance with 1. For example 121 is such a palindrome. It is divisible by 11 with the result = 11 which of course is also a palindrome. (Note that in this example the highest digit 2 is even.) With the requirement that the highest digit is even the next such palindrome is 1234321. Again it is divisible by 11 with the result = 112211. Continuing on in this fashion the next such palindrome is 12345654321. Again it is divisible by 11 with the result = 1122332211. This pattern will repeat itself with the final single even digit in base 10 as highest digit. Thus 123456787654321 divided by 11 = 11223344332211.
