A sequence of peculiar palindromes
$begingroup$
My son Robin came up with this: 0550, 1001, 1111, 1221, 1331, 1441, 1551, 2002...
What are the next 4 numbers? Solve it today!

I would say Greg is almost correct but that the actual answer is
2112, 2222, 2332, 0000
Because these are
Palindromic times on a digital clock, in order (e.g, 21:12, 22:22)
$endgroup$
$begingroup$
Ahh. Good call! Does ROT13(Zl fba Ebova) have anything to do with it?

@Greg, not sure, can you see a connection? I thought it was just the truth.

I can not. I was wondering how you made connection with the second part of you answer (thought that might be why)

2112, 2222, 2332, 2442, (2552, 3003) (next 6 for good measure)
Because:
The middle two numbers increase by one, when they reach
6
, the outside numbers go up by one, the middle numbers go to zero (sort of modulo 6)
