PiNerd, you are ALL winners in my book!

[Palindrome riddle] So I win? ;)

So I win?

It wasn't fair anywa because we are in different time zones. I think Lee should win for both solutions.

[Palindrome riddle] The Solution(s):

The Solution(s):

Well it turns out there are 2 solutions to the riddle that I posted last week.

Solution #1:
198888 Last 4 digits 8888
198889 last 5 digits 98889
198890 middle 4 digits 9889
198891 all 6 digits 198891

Although the above solution was what I had in mind, PiNerd (the first to weigh in with an answer) offered an alternate solution that is "technically" correct, based on the way I presented the riddle:

199999 Last 4 9999 and last 5 digits 99999
200000 last 5 digits 00000
200001 middle 4 digits 0000
200002 all 6 digits 200002

Xuzz was the first to respond with solution #1.

Ibanez also got 198891.

Lee was the first to offer both solutions.

Mike Flips responded with 198891 and 342,345 (his actual number of tries, just in case it was a trick question).

Thanks to everyone who played. If you have a mom, wife, or girlfriend that says you're wasting too much time on BoD, you can now tell them that it is educational (you can thank me later ).

Way to go guys.

Actually, I just raided the prize closet and found lots more world-wide fame and admiration to go around, so keep those guesses coming. I will post a list on Monday of all who get the correct answer.

The answers that I've received so far and the ones yet to be submitted will be put before the Official Olympic Palindrome Riddle Judging Panel Committee to test for their level of correctness and authenticity.

Let me put it this way, just because I've already received entries, doesn't mean I've received the correct one yet .
