Is it possible for the number created by the consecutive numbers $1$ to $n$ where $n > 1$ be a palindrome eg. $1234567\ldots n$?
I believe this is a contest problem, but how would one solve this problem without looking up the hints?

A solution can be found on page 43 of Andreescu and Andrica, Number Theory: Structures, Examples, and Problems, which page I was able to access on Google Books.
