Quite an appropriate puzzle given the weather we have been having this week ! Relieved that it didn't take too long to crack as we have the pleasure of another Schadenfreude puzzle to occupy us tomorrow. Many thanks Elap !

Thanks, Elap, a very nice puzzle. I stared at the grid for ages before noticing something, then the way forward became clear. When I've solved a numerical, I always like to go through it again, to see if there's a more elegant solution than my first attempt, and the path through this one was very tidy, with no backtracking from blind alleys, but great fun. And...

I'd be inclined to persist, the format of your 3-digit number is certainly correct. By way of confirmation, its middle digit happens to be circled, and in fact appears in the same cell in the final grid :-)
I certainly will persist. I've enjoyed some private correspondence with a poster on this board who has confirmed that I have the correct instruction phrase and numbers. In my attempts to construct the grid for part 2 the 3 digit number does indeed appear as you describe. It really shouldn't be hard from this point so I'm not sure what I've been doing wrong. I'm taking the night off from the damned thing and will return to the puzzle in tomorrow's coffee breaks. :) Cheers and thanks for your help, Rob

That sounds like a good strategy, and perhaps double check your final sequence too. The 2nd, 24th, 25th, 33rd, 34th, 35th and 36th terms should be the only palindromes :-)
