At 9:12 p.m. December 21, 2112, we will have 21:12, 21/12, 2112--no?
Well done -- I didn't think of that one. 1001 works, but 3003 and higher
doesn't work because there is no 30th hour. So I thought Allie had the ONLY
two examples that exactly fit the palindromic pattern. However, yours does
too: 2112, 2112, 2112. So, folks, is that it? Three and only three examples?
Best,
Bill P.

I think that's it. But I really think we need to do something about that
word "palindromic." Although it sounds cool, it would be even more
delightful if it were changed to "palinilap." Eh?

Hmm. What about 1111? And 1221?
