| Feb 1, 2013 at 20:10 | comment | added | mellamokb | @SeanCheshire: Oops, you are right, I didn't think that through completely. However, it is still true that 4 would have 1 four in every base >= 5, so that should be clarified in the spec. | |
| Feb 1, 2013 at 19:56 | comment | added | SeanC | @mellamokb, 14 in any base greater than 15 would not have a 4 in it - e.g. 14 base 16 is D - this also applies to any base higher than 10 - the 4 may be in the original number, but the symbol chosen to represent it would not be a 4, but another number | |
| Feb 1, 2013 at 19:45 | comment | added | Gareth | @SeanCheshire True, but it could shorten the code to leave the test in for 0,1,2,3 and 4 (it does in my case at least). | |
| Feb 1, 2013 at 19:37 | comment | added | SeanC | note that it's not much use testing bases 2 3 and 4, as they can't produce a 4 in the first place | |
| Feb 1, 2013 at 18:31 | comment | added | mellamokb | What is the correct answer for 1, 2, and 3, which have the same number of "4"s (0) in every base? Also, many numbers have the same number of "4"s in many bases (e.g., 4 in any base > 5, 44 in any base > 45, 14 in base 9, or any base > 15, etc). Should the correct answer be the smallest base with the largest number of "4"s? | |
| Feb 1, 2013 at 18:27 | comment | added | mellamokb | @SeanCheshire: You don't actually have to display the number. You can easily represent a number in any base as an array, such as [1,15,3,64,43] for some number in base 80. You're only outputting the base number, so you could technically test every base from 2 to n. | |

| Feb 1, 2013 at 15:35 | comment | added | SeanC | I would assume 36, as it gets difficult to represent after that | |
