==Proof==
The task conjectures that the sum from n=0 to some n of 2n+1 has at least one value of n for every base for which the sum is a number containing all digits in the base. Can you prove this conjecture?--[[User:Nigel Galloway|Nigel Galloway]] ([[User talk:Nigel Galloway|talk]]) 21:34, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
