The reverse and add process, if repeated will often reach a palindrome. In base 10 it is unknown whether numbers exist that do not eventually reach a palindrome (196 is the smallest current candidate in base ten.)

In binary, however, there are numbers that never reach a palindrome. Find the smallest such number and prove it never reaches a palindrome.

Hi. I constantly solve all sorts of problems and it helps me to win more often at online slot machine. Do you like to play games or do you like solving problems more?
