    I found out that RACECAR spelled backwards is RACECAR.

    So is :
    "Was it a rat I saw?"
    "Step on no pets"
    "Rats live on no evil star"

    That's just "dog yzal a revo spmuj xof nworb kcuiq ehT" which doesn't make sense. And theyre called palindromes. Numbers can be palindromes, as well. And numbers have palindromic sums,for instance 97+79=176+671=847+748=1595+5951= 7546+6457=14003+ 30041=44044.......the palindromic sum of 97 is 44044. The number 196 is the only number less than 10000 that does not appear to have a palindromic sum.
