[seqfan] Re: Is A109924 correct?

[Lars Blomberg]

I thought "leading zero" referred to the palindrome, where
a(10) needs a leading 0 in order to be truly palindromic:
0,135444,949494,445310
and it is this leading zero that is suppressed.

I still fail to see why
a(10) = 135444,949494,445310 is correct
and a(2) = 60 is not.

Your examples have trailing zeros, not leading zeros.
