Incidentally, speaking of Hull and telephone codes, I seem to remember that Hull was unique, as it had its own telephone system (Kingston Communications) whilst the rest of the country was under the nationalised British Telecom. (You're welcome to correct me if I've got these facts wrong...)
You are absolutely correct! It's called KCOM now, but Hull has had an independent telephone network since the early days.
484 is a palindromic perfect square (= 22 squared). The only other three-digit ones are 121 and 676.

Bear with me on this one:
1/3 = 0.33333333333... The repeating part is 3, and 3 divides 3. When does this next happen?
1/487 = 0.00205338809034... The repeating part is too long to write out, but 487 divides into it.
The only other number for which this property is known is 56598313.
