Conjecture of Investigating Pascal’s Triangle

Let's assume that the hexagons A, B, C, D, E, F, and G are the portion of

Pascal's Triangle. If A is the missing part, then the formula would be D minus B. Next,
when you get the value of B, the procedure would be D minus A. If C is the missing
value, then get the difference between F and D. While getting the value of D has three
ways: add the value of A and B, subtract the value of C from F, and diminish G by E.
For the value of E, it would be G minus D. To get the value of F, just add C and D. And
when you are getting the value of G, find the sum of D and E. Lastly, If B is equal to 1,
then E is equivalent to 1 and vice versa. The same with A, if its value is 1, then the
value of C is also 1 and vice versa.

Conjecture of Palindrome Numbers Investigation

In this palindromic issue, there are some calculations to determine the number of
repetitions of operations to arrive at the palindrome number result. First, the sum of
palindromic numbers, 45 and 54 is 99 where it only took one operation to arrive at
another palindromic number that can be read as 99 backward. Next, the sum of
palindromic numbers, 68 and 86 is 154. Their sum is not a palindromic number so it will
be added again to 451 (the sum's reverse) which results in 605. 605 is still not a
palindromic number so it will repeat the process of operation. Then finally, at the third
attempt, their sum is 1111 which is an example of a palindrome number. In another
example, 78 and 87, with the same process, it took 4 repetitions to come up with a
palindrome number. By trying other palindromic numbers less than 100, most of the
number of repetitions of operation are 1-4 respectively but 89 and 98 palindromic
numbers took 24 repetitions to obtain 8813200023188, a thirteen-digit palindrome.
These might be the palindrome numbers that we are looking for.

Conjecture of Squaring the three-digit numbers

Consider a general three digit number, say, ‘abc’. The square of ‘abc’ will have five
parts as shown below(each part numbered with a digit for our convenience)

abc² = 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1

During calculations, we shall pass from the rightmost duplex to the leftmost duplex.

The rightmost part(1) will be duplex of ‘c’, the next part(2) will be duplex of bc, the
middle part(3) will be duplex of ‘abc’, the next part(4) will be duplex of ab and finally the
left most part(5) will be duplex of ‘a’.

Ex. abc² = D(a) | D(ab) | D(abc)| D(bc) | D(c)
