On Wednesday Nov. 2, a one-of-a- kind palindrome occurred. Of all of the palindrome dates in the 21st century, 38 altogether, 11022011 is the only one that happens in November. It has been a hundred years since a palindrome last occurred in November, and it is even more rare because it's an eight-digit palindrome.

It is truly wonderful to experience such a day in our lifespan!

The L.A. Times, Chicago Tribune and KATU News are among the other news organizations that covered engineering professor Aziz Inan's story on this palindrome.

Inan made sure to have his EGR 110 class point out the palindrome on this especially cool day.
