Out of curiousity, I wondered if there were any five-digit repeated Zip codes in the United States. Turns out there are.
There's no 11111.
22222 is in Arlington, Virginia.
There's no 33333.
44444 is Newton Falls, Ohio.
55555 is Young America, Minnesota. (NOT kidding.)
There's no 66666 (the zip code of the Beast), but there is a 66667; Topeka, Kansas.
There's no 77777, which would be the luckiest zip code in America. Ditto for
88888 and 99999.
Next up; simple palindromic triples (10101, 20202, etc.)
This is fun; given the rise of email and text and chat, I can envision a future without Zip Codes. But then how would we be able to find ourselves on the Weather Channel map?
