[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 654742] [NEW] Gross mistake about palindromic years

[Daniel U. Thibault]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gbrainy

games.xml.h includes the answer:

Palindrome years occur usually at 110 year intervals except for the end
of each millennium that occur at a 11 years interval.

This is grossly false.  Palindromic years occur at 11 year intervals at
the *beginning* of the calendar (11, 22, 33...99), then at 10 year
intervals (101, 111, 121...191, 202...292...909...999), then at 110 year
intervals for the next nine millennia (1001, 1111, 1221...), then at 100
year intervals (10001, 10101, 10201... interleaved with 11011, 11111,
11211..., etc.) for the next ninety millennia.  Nothing special occurs
at the end of each (of the first ten) millennia.
