[Challenge] Palindromic Sum

The palindromic number 595 is interesting because it can be written as the sum of consecutive squares: 6^2+7^2 +8^2 +9^2 +10^2+ 11^2+12^2. There are exactly eleven palindromes below one-thousand that can written as consecutive square sums, and the sum of these palindromes is 4164. Note that 1 = 0^2 + 1^2 has not been included as this problem is concerned with the squares of positive integers. Find sum of all numbers less than 10^8 that are both palindromic & can be written as the sum of consecutive squares

To get to 10^8 you need to make max=10000 , but it times out on playground https://code.sololearn.com/c5L8tmyu3S9J/#py
