What are the shortest and longest time spans from one palindromic time to the next? This assumes a 24-hour clock without leading zeros.
I think my question is neater, because to justify your answer you have to enumerate all the possible intervals.
I should have said that it assumes a 12 hour clock. JHC
Here is another related problem, I am watching palindromic numbers go by in local time on my on my computers 12-hour clock without leading zeros. I count 281 seconds between two palindromes. How long will it be before I count 281 seconds between two number again? Regards Otto
