An Attempt to Beat the World Record for the Longest Palindrome

摘要

The current world record palindrome contains 21,012 words. It was constructed by repeatedly-inserting words in the middle of a list of words until it becomes a palindrome. We propose a different approach for constructing palindromes. We generate small palindromes called perfect palindromes that can be combined in any order to form a larger palindrome. Unfortunately, this approach did not beat the record for the world's longest palindrome. But, we did generate the world's longest perfect palindrome.
