Sequence means that things follow one another in a specific order. Knowing the specific pattern or rule which a sequence follows can help you predict what will come next.

For example:

1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 is a sequence of numbers. If you can identify the rule or pattern which this sequence follows, you will be able to predict the next number in this sequence.

	The message is the same when it is read forwards or backwards.

Palindromes

Palindromes are numbers, words, sentences or other sequences of units that can be read the same way in either direction. The sequence of numbers 12321 or the word 'civic' are examples of palindromes. If you read the sentence 'was it a rat I saw' backwards, you will see this is also a palindrome. In some sequences the spacing between the units is important, in others it is not. These strange sequences of words and numbers can be found in all languages. The first recorded example of a palindrome sequence was found written in Latin, almost two thousand years ago. In this example, the words fit into a square and can be read from any direction.

Which conditions below will make a sequence into a palindrome? Choose the 2 correct answers.

Response:

	The spacing between the words must be the same.
	The message is the same when it is read forwards or backwards.
