The discussion centers on finding a palindromic number A, which is the product of two palindromic primes B and C, within the range of 1000 to 2000. It is clarified that while A must be a palindrome, it cannot be a prime number since it is a product of B and C. B is specified to be a two-digit palindromic prime, while C is a three-digit palindromic prime. The participants engage in resolving the conditions for A, emphasizing the constraints on B and C. The conversation highlights the mathematical properties of palindromic numbers and primes.

given : A=B$\times $C
with the following characters
(1) A,B,C $\in N$
(2)A is a palindrome
(3)B and C are all palindromic primes
(4) 1000<A<2000
(5) B is a 2-digit number
(6) C is a 3-digit number
find A

sorry! A is a palindrome but not a prime
 
only 2 digit palinodromic prime is B = 11
A < 2000 and is of the form 1aa1
from this and C is palinodrom and prime we have C < 2000/11 and C >=100 hence C = 101 or 131 or 151 or 181
giving A = 1111, 1441, 1661, 1881

so we have following combinations (1111 = 1 1 * 101, 1441 = 11 * 131, 1661 = 11 * 151, 1991 = 11 * 181
 

Thread 'Area of Overlapping Squares'

Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
