Multiples of 6 (Posted on 2024-02-22)

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?

Aha.

So Benford wins again.

The devil is in the details of choosing the endpoints. I was "cherry picking data" by choosing 1 to 10^n.
