which term is the number 78987 in this sequence?
Here 0 is the 1st term:
The position of a palindrome within the sequence can be determined almost without calculation:
If the palindrome has an even number of digits,
prepend a 1 to the front half of the palindrome's digits.
Examples: 98766789=a(19876)
If the number of digits is odd, prepend the value of front digit + 1 to the digits from position 2 ... central digit.
Examples: 515=a(61), 8206028=a(9206), 9230329=a(10230).
