Aug 3 at 2:08 comment added David G. I think you have an ambiguous test case: canacandothecancan => andothecancan

Aug 2 at 13:03 comment added Paŭlo Ebermann Ah, I missed the "only lowercase letters" part of the task. The basic definition works just the same for all kinds of strings (and I suppose most answers would also work with different inputs). But in many languages it's trivial to make a program a palindrome by adding a comment to the end, so my simple rule would make everything score zero here.

there's nothing recursive about this task

Aug 1 at 22:55 comment added Steve Bennett Interesting idea, maybe there's something in that for a future question. Not many languages that you could solve this in using only lowercase letters with no whitespace...
Aug 1 at 22:27 comment added Paŭlo Ebermann I was thinking "This is missing the obvious scoring function by applying the function on itself and only counting what's left over", but then everyone would just submit a palindrome.
