For some integers a palindrome can be created by reversing the digits and adding the new number to the original number e.g.: 31+11=44. a palindrome. if the first step doesn't produce a palindrome then do the same thing again and again till you get a palindrome.
e.g. 157 + 751=908
908 + 809=1717
1717 + 7171=8888 - a palindrome!
Can this be done for all integers? I think not cos for larger numbers the size of the palindrome could be enormous. opinions?
