Target achieved: BurnMaxxer in a Palindrome Block [burnsteem100]

I don't know if it's possible to reliably target a transaction to execute in a specific block or not with sophisticated math & algorithms, but it definitely doesn't seem easy when using naïve assumptions.

Basically, from my network, the lag between starting a transfer and completing it can take anywhere from around 13 blocks to 24 (or more). Overall, if I start about 16 or 17 blocks before the target, I guess the odds are about 1 in 10 - give or take - to get the block I'm trying for. Despite the long odds, before work today I decided to start a script targeting the BurnMaxxer title on some unusual blocks.

I got one of them. It was a palindrome in block# 108,454,801. (A palindrome shows the same number when written frontwards or backwards.)

Out of 995 total BurnMaxxer titles over the blockchain's history, today was the first time that the @remlaps account won BurnMaxxer for a palindrome block number.
