"Since we need to reduce search space, instead of checking if every number is a palindrome in base-10, can we try to \"generate\" the palindromic numbers?",
"If you are provided with a d digit number, how can you generate a palindrome with 2*d or 2*d - 1 digit?",
"Try brute-forcing and checking if the palindrome you generated is a \"k-Mirror\" number."
