The number 24 is a multiple of 6, and its reversal, 42, is also a multiple of 6.
What is the probability that the reversal of any randomly-chosen multiple of 6 is also a multiple of 6?

re: Benford's Law by Jer)
Actually, the probability does not approach a limit if the interval is (0,n) as n --> infinity. The probability has a maximum of about 49.38% if n = 9*10^k and a minimum of 2/9 if n = 2*10^k. The probability oscillates between those two values. The average of all probabilities across (0,n) as n --> infinity should approach 39.1%. For a rough approximation, average the high and low values to get 36%.
If you don't believe me, ask Charlie to write a program.
