Round 2002: FOMA

[Daniel Widdis]

When dealing round 1961, Bill Hirst noted that the round number could read the same upside down and noted that wouldn't occur again until round 6009.

I argued that if one used an OCR font, or read the numbers on an LCD display, that 2002 would be the next ambigram round. Appropriate that I end up dealing it.

Or since it's numbers, not letters, would it be ambinumeric? Is that even a word? Perhaps not. But this is:

The word for round 2002 is

*** FOMA ***

As usual, capitalization is not significant.
