Okay, I'm tierd but isn't that impossible? what base should they use? i just can't figure it out, couse the first number is reaised to the power of 0 right? it doesn't matter what base it it it will be times one anyway (2*10 raised to 0 = 2*1 = 2) |

Unlikely, not with any real integral number system anyway.
If it's below base 4, there will be no digit 5... if it's above base 4, then there *will* be the digit 4 and thus it will be your answer. |

if the base number were 1 instead of zero it would work |

Our standard base is 10, base 1 and 0 don't even exist. |

well yeah. of course.
but your base could be any number. it doesn't matter.
i'm just saying IF the base number were 1, then that equation would work

| Right, and if you have the number 2222 it's 2*10"3 + 2*10"2 + 2*10"1 + 2*10"0. So the last digit is always times one, so how would you multiplie 2 with one and get 2.5? |
