Quote from: Silken Healer on November 11, 2024, 12:41:50 AMAKHTBN iff, removing the first character, the koan can be turned into a palindrome by removing one character, the koan, with no chatacters removed, is not originally a palindrome, and the koan is more than one character long.

As mentioned in my edit to the previous post, there are already multiple counterexamples that disprove this guess.

**
AKHTBN iff (you remove the first character from the koan. Then, you can remove any one character to turn the koan into a palindrome) AND (the original koan is not already a palindrome) AND (in this rule, a palindrome does not count if it is not at least two characters long)

Quote from: namida on November 11, 2024, 12:40:37 AMIt crosses my mind that maybe you meant palindrome, but all three-letter koans as well as ROTOR and POTATO are already counterexamples to that.

"POTATO," with the first character removed is "OTATO." The third character, "A," can be removed from this to make it a palindrome.

"ROTOR" is already a palindrome.

Counter-example: STATISTIC is white. You can't make a palindrome by removing one letter from "TATISTIC".
