Puzzle Solving - next numbers


Expert: Surajit Basu - 12/19/2007

Question
what's next in the series, and how did you get it? Thanks
110, 20, 12, 11, 10,  ,  ,  ,

I don't know the answer but I know the next number is not 2.

Answer
i think it is 6.

lets try the different numbers with different bases
110   in base 2       = 6
20   in base 3       = 6
12   in base 4       =6
11   in base 5       =6
10   in base 6       =6
thus the numbers are the same, the base is different.
the next number should be 6 in base 7

which is 6.

and after that, it will always be 6.
