Fun solve, but I haven't a clue what the palindrome is

Eager for someone to post what it is. Great puzzle!

NI!

Judy - A palindrome is a word or phrase that you can read forward or backward and get the same thing. A simple one would be "kayak" -- if you spell it backward, it's still "kayak."

Jota, what does NI! mean? Just curious! It looks like Monty Python, but I'm guessing it's something else?

Probably "No Idea"

I'm reading the two dots in the center as a colon, and then imagining that as a ratio symbol, given that there are numbers on either side (well, top/bottom) of it... And while the numbers clearly don't represent plausible times on a digital clock, I'm going with this guess anyway:

ETA RATE

... Am I even close?

It seems like the first four should be a five for the pattern to work out. I'm trying to work that observation into a palindrome, but not coming up with one.

If this is a symbolism for read-only memory, then the answer to how much we need is always MORE ROM...(?)

The number values matter! Yonah's guess could make a great puzzle in the future, but here it's something much less technological.

Valerie, Bill is correct! No Idea!

There are 18 green numbers... 18 greens... Golf? And the blue numbers are typical stroke counts... PAR...
The numbers ascend down the first column, until they... WRAP.

PAR WRAP

?!?!?!!

Oh, that's a really good alternate solution, Yonah! I hadn't thought of it.

I guess I made the numbers too typical and close to par, because the intended solution was GOLF LOG. But you deserve full credit!

Ni Odea what NI means ....

Now that you mention it, Golf Log makes a lot more sense than my guess. :) I would have indeed thought twice about using 'Par' if I saw some stroke counts more akin to my skill level i.e. 7s, 8s, or 9s.

Well, on reflection, I think I could have organized the scores as follows:

Scores over par = red
Scores under par = green
Par = blue

Maybe it's worth submitting a new version to clue things better--while it's fun to know people are considering other logical possibilities I hadn't, I'd like to give good and not too on-the-nose clues!

Too sneaky for my blood. Good palindromes, though!

I have never golfed, so this left me out...hmmm...out...now there's a game I know...lol baseball! (or perhaps tennis)
