Re: Our New Forum
You must've missed something guys you should write it down in a chart this is so much easier than the who owns the fish puzzle coz this gives aallll the clues! It took me an hour in the fish puzzle and that's with trial and error and this doesn't need trial and error at all.

hi Nancycastro25
Welcome to the forum.
This thread is a very old one and the last post was in 2012. Good to contribute (that's what this forum is for) but the last poster hasn't posted again since then

ktesla39,
You should know the Website (Year 2000) is periodically updated.
Please check the facts before posting/commenting.
How much of hard-working has done in the website, only senior members know!
Think before posting and ascertain facts!

Re: Our New Forum
I know how hard it is to make any website like this one.
I didn't mean that this site is useless or anything like that. It's actually good site but people don't use this site the way it should have been used. This is very useful site but students nowadays follow AI tools like chatgpt instead of forums like this. I just meant that this site isnt been used actively as it was used in past. I'm sorry if you felt bad.
I know my value. Anyone else’s opinion doesn’t really matter.

Re: Our New Forum
hi Barrie
Welcome to the forum.
It's usual to work in base ten, column headings 'hundreds', tens, and 'units'.
But it's perfectly possible to do 'sums' in other bases.
124n=232 base five. Now find the value of n
The column headings for base 5 are twenty fives, fives and units so we can convert this number to base ten like this:
2 x 25 + 3 x 5 + 2 x 1 = 50 + 15 + 2 = 67.
So, apparently 124n = 67. I don't think the setter of this question meant 124 times n = 67 which would make n = 67/124
Rather I think the setter meant in what base (n) would 67 be written 124.
It only makes sense if n is 5 or 6 or 7 because there's no such number as 4 in bases lower than 5, and in base 8 that 1 is worth 64 which rules out n=8 or higher.
To sort out n you have to try n= 5, n=6, and n=7
ie try 1 x 25 + 2 x 5 + 4
1 x 36 + 2 x 6 + 4
1 x 49 + 2 x 7 + 4
I'll leave the working to you. One of the above does work; the other two don't.
