^Banned for making me show in the margins, how I did my homework...
If you take the word "Wizard" and number the entire alphabet like so:
A-1, B-2, C-3, D-4, E-5, F-6, G-7, H-8, I-9, J-10, K-11, L-12, M-13, N-14, O-15, P-16, Q-17, R-18, S-19, T-20, U-21, V-22, W-23, X-24, Y-25, Z-26
Then do it again backwards:
A-26, B-25, C-24, D-23, E-22, F-21, G-20, H-19, I-18, J-17, K-16, L-15, M-14, N-13, O-12, P-11, Q-10, R-9, S-8, T-7, U-6, V-5, W-4, X-3, Y-2, Z-1
Then using the first scheme we number "Wizard"
23, 9, 26, 1, 18, 4
Then number "draziW" using the second scheme
23, 9, 26, 1, 18, 4
The letters are equidistant from A going forward, and Z going backward, and the word is palindrome/not-palindrome. Easilly my favorite fact to tell people about, as well as the most useless I know
