What is the average of all positive integers that have four digits when written in base 3, but two digits when written in base 5? Write your answer in base 10.

The base 3 integers  with 4 digits go from

3*3 + 0*3^2  + 0 * 3^1  + 0   = 30003 = 27

to

2*3^3  + 2*3^2 + 2*3 + 2 = 22223  =  80

 

The base 5 integers with two digits  go from

1*5 + 0  =  105 =  5

to

4*5  + 4 = 445  =  24  

 

There is no overlap ....so.....no average is possible
