    Do there exist positive integers b,n>1b,n>1 such that when nn is expressed in base bb , there are more than nn distinct permutations of its digits? For example, when b=4b=4 and n=18n=18 , 18=102418 = 102_4 , but 102102 only has 66 digit arrangements. (Leading zeros are allowed in the permutations.)
