Juan Carlos - by spain01

How long is my palindrome, yours longer?

October 11th 2006 20:02
A Palindrome is word that says the same forward as backward

Examples: Madam.

Much more fun are Palindromic Phrases.

Here are some: -
Sums are not set as a test on Erasmus ( attributed to the great poet W.H. Auden)

A dog! A panic in a pagoda!

Ah, Satan sees Natasha

My favorite for the longest without cheating is

Doc, note, I dissent. A fast never prevents a fatness. I diet on cod. (I thought that this was by Jan Morris the transexual journalist but it is really by Peter Hilton.


The longest with cheating is this one by Unknown

Dennis, Nell, Edna, Leon, Nedra, Anita, Rolf, Nora, Alice, Carol, Leo, Jane, Reed, Dena, Dale, Basil, Rae, Penny, Lana, Dave, Denny, Lena, Ida, Bernadette, Ben, Ray, Lila, Nina, Jo, Ira, Mara, Sara, Mario, Jan, Ina, Lily, Arne, Bette, Dan, Reba, Diane, Lynn, Ed, Eva, Dana, Lynne, Pearl, Isabel, Ada, Ned, Dee, Rena, Joel, Lora, Cecil, Aaron, Flora, Tina, Arden, Noel, and Ellen sinned!

Do you have a longer one??

What do you consider cheating for a palindromic phrase? Both of the ones that you listed are longer than any that I know of. The longest that I remember offhand is "A man, a plan, a canal - Panama!"

That is a good one. This person is cheating because he is simply alligning a series of names computorially.
