@Jan-Andrea Bard, no.
Although it is not mentioned clearly in the problem statement but you can see a hint from the test suite

This problem would be really fun with larger test cases. It would eliminate kron() and stop naively checking every string combination.

@Brandon you could submit a new problem ("Palindromic Numbers - Hard Mode" or so).
