# Is this a three-digit number ending in one?

Given a nonnegative integer, return whether it is a three digit number ending in one, in any consistent integer base. In other words, the number needs to be represented in base-N, N being an integer greater than zero.

## Rules

• This is , so shortest answer wins.
• Since unary behaves weirdly, the behavior with input 310 is undefined.
• Standard loopholes are prohibited.

## Examples

True:

5
73
101
1073
17
22
36
55
99


False:

8
18
23
27
98
90
88
72
68


A handful of large numbers:

46656 true
46657 true
46658 true
46659 true
46660 true
46661 false
46662 false
46663 true
46664 false
46665 true
46666 true
46667 false
46668 false
46669 false
46670 true
46671 true

• Since unary behaves weirdly no, it doesn't behave weirdly, the unary representation of a non-negative integer n is just n 1s, e.g. 0 = ()₁, 3 = (111)₁, 10 = (1111111111)₁, etc. – Erik the Outgolfer Dec 16 '17 at 9:28
• @EriktheOutgolfer It does behave quite differently; you can't divide by 1 to n-itshift, for example. – wizzwizz4 Dec 16 '17 at 12:27
• What does consistent integer base mean? (Also, instead of excluding unary in the rules you could just specify N ≥ 2.) – Lynn Dec 16 '17 at 14:25
• @Lynn A positional notation with a single radix, e.g. base ten, as opposed to a position-dependent radix like you see with imperial units or time. – HAEM Dec 16 '17 at 20:38
• @Lynn as an addendum, I was also trying to exclude rational, negative, complex etc. bases. As for your second point, the rule about unary is intended to neither include nor exclude unary. Unless my grasp of language lawyering is even feebler than I thought, "undefined behavior" means "whatever the implementing party wants", which is what I was going for. – HAEM Dec 16 '17 at 20:57

### How it works

bRṫ€3ċJ  Main link. Argument: n

R       Range; yield [1, ..., n].
b        Base; convert n to bases 1, ..., n.
ṫ€3    Tail each 3; remove the first two elements of each digit array.
J  Indices of [n]; yield [1].
ċ   Count the number of times [1] appears in the result to the left.

n < b * b ?     // if n is less than b²:
0             //   n has less than 3 digits in base b or above -> failure
:               // else:
n % b == 1 &  //   return a truthy value if n is congruent to 1 modulo b
n < b**3 |    //   and n is less than b³ (i.e. has less than 4 digits in base b)
f(n, -~b)     //   or the above conditions are true for some greater value of b
