I believe the villain of this is in three parts. The first part is in the "isPalindrome()" function - you don't reset boopal to true at the beginning of it. So if a value makes it through the function being a palindrome, it doesn't change the current value of boopal - but it is still false. To fix this, add at the beginning of the function "boopal = true;"
The second villain is also in the "isPalindrome()" function. When you run the function, it tests the input to see if it is a palindrome. However, it doesn't check pal to see if it is a palindrome. You change pal; you don't change input. So no matter how many times you run it, it'll always give the same results. To fix this, add at the beginning of this an if-else statement. If something guaranteed to be zero at the beginning (such as rvs) is zero, then use the input. Otherwise, use pal.
The third and final main villain (hopefully) is in the makeReversal() function. Don't check the length of d, and see that it's greater than one - if d is "1", it'll still kick out of the loop, and it won't add this value in. Instead, check to see if the value _contained_ in d is greater than zero.
Hope this helps,
