highest palindrome with 3 digit numbers in python

Question

In problem 4 from http://projecteuler.net/ it says:

A palindromic number reads the same both ways. The largest palindrome made from the product of two 2-d

Answer 1

Iterating in reverse doesn't find the largest x*y, it finds the palindrome with the largest x. There's a larger answer than 580085; it has a smaller x but a larger y.
