There is a number $a$ , which can be written as $\overline{xyz}$ in base 9 and $\overline{zyx}$ in base 6, for some positive integer $x,y,z$ . Find $x+y+z$ .

Details and Assumption

$\overline{xyz}$ represents reading the digits together, instead of multiplying them out. For example, $\overline{xyz}_9 = 81 x + 9y + z$ and $\overline{zyx}_6 = 36 z + 6y + x$ .

Find the smallest natural number greater than 3 which has the unit digit of 3 when expressed in base-4, base-5, base-6, base-7, and base-8.

Express your answer in base 10.

$N$ is an integer whose representation in base $b$ is 777. Find the smallest positive integer $b$ for which $N$ is the fourth power of an integer.

$(2^3)! = 40320_{10} = 1001\:1101\:1000\:0000_2.$
