http://code.activestate.com/recipes/577010-palindrome-count/ says:

'abccdadba' contains 50 palindromes, not all unique. Examples are: 'a' at
positions 0,-4, and -1. 'aa' at (0,4),(5,-1), and (5,-1) The longest is
'abdadba' This code counts the palindromes in the data variable.

Since the string has 9 the number of substrings is only 45 (+/\1+i.9).
 Therefore, I don't understand what the description means by "palindrome"
or "in the data variable".
