Puzzle
Message posted by Chaim on March 28, 2000 at 12:00 AM (ET)

Can anybody help with a puzzle I found in a magazine? Somebody tore out the page with the answer. Question: Words that read the same forward and backward (like TOOT) are called palindromes. In theory, how many 9 letter palindromes are there? My answer is: 26x26x26x26x26x1x1x1x1. Am I right?

READERS RESPOND:
(In chronological order. Most recent at the bottom.)
