[seqfan] Re: Is A109924 correct?

[Alex M]

They are equivalent; "60" is "060" with a leading zero. There would be no
reason to disallow trailing zeroes at all... as given a(12) has a trailing
zero, and by appending one to the front, it has a leading zero and becomes
palindromic.

I think Lars is correct in this change.

~6 out of 5 statisticians say that the
number of statistics that either make
no sense or use ridiculous timescales
at all has dropped over 164% in the
last 5.62474396842 years.
