If Oz house is base 6, then
5000 in base 6 =5*(6^3)+0+0+0 = 5*216 +0+0+0 = 1080 in base 10

Is this solution Helpfull? Yes (6) | No

PRAVEEN,
The originating Oz puzzle is:
"The citizens of planet Oz are 6 fingered and thus have developed a number system in base 6. A certain street in Oz contains 1000 buildings numbered from 1 to 1000. How many 3’s are used in numbering these buildings? Express your answer in base 10." NOTE: there seems to be a glitch in the "How many..." portion of the question, so I assumed that the question is asking for the number of houses in base 10.

Is this solution Helpfull? Yes (3) | No

5000 in base 8 = 5*(8^3)+0+0+0 = 5*512= 2560 in base 10.
