%e From _David A. Corneth_, Sep 28 2023: (Start)

%e 353 is a term as it has k = 3 digits and so we see that the sum of the first ceiling(k/2) = ceiling(3/2) = 2 and the last ceiling(k/2) = ceiling(3/2) = 2 are equal and indeed 3 + 5 = 5 + 3.

%e 13922 is a term as it has k = 5 digits and so we see that the sum of the first ceiling(k/2) = ceiling(5/2) = 2 and the last ceiling(k/2) = ceiling(5/2) = 2 are equal and indeed 1 + 3 + 9 = 9 + 2 + 2. (End)
