Oooo you b*gger !!!! I've been waiting all year to post that and it would have been here this morning had I got me @rse into gear rather than having to try and sneak it in late in the day

Might just have to find ye (very) olde genuine 208 tee shirt and post a piccy of that instead now but in the meantime have an older logo:

Sorry mikeb, I suppose it would only intensify your frustration if I told you that I'd never heard of radio Luxembourg until yesterday and only posted it because it was the first 208 I could find, so i'll not mention it

The 196-algorithm is the algorithm one uses to derive a palindromic number from an integer. The steps of it are:

Take your integer, p

Reverse p's digits to make q

Let r = p + q

Let p = r

Repeat steps 2, 3 and 4 until r is a palindromic number

Example:

Start with p = 195

Then p + q = 786

Then p = 786

So now p + q = 1473

Then p = 1473

So now p + q = 5214

Then p = 5214

So now p + q = 9339

Now we have a palindrome we can stop and say that when 195 is put through the 196-algorithm, it produces the palindrome 9339.

Why 196?

The reason this algorithm is called the 196-algorithm is because 196 is the first number which does not rapidly become a palindrome when put through the algorithm, even after thousands of iterations.
