A lot of solutions are passing this due to insufficient testing. There is only one number in the tests and it's a 'pass', so solutions that remove all numbers from the input are passing because a null string counts as a palindrome.

Test suite has been updated to cover sufficient cases.
Though I was going to include cases with characters (as specified in the problem description), however as the reference solution provieded failed for such cases, I didn't proceed with it.
