121 in base 3 is 16 in decimal...
121 in base 4 is 25 in decimal...
121 in base 5 is 36 in decimal...
121 in base 6 is 49 in decimal...
121 in base 7 is 64 in decimal...
121 in base 8 is 81 in decimal...
121 in base 9 is 100 in decimal...

Interesting how they're all square numbers.

MrToast, the math dork.
If you want to take it another step team 1331 would be all cubes when converted to decimal from whatever base.
1331 in base 4 is 125 in decimal....
1331 in base 5 is 216 in decimal....

There is a mathematical reason for this trend. I'll leave the proof to the reader. I recommend posting it in the Math & Science section, though.
