Suppose an archeological dig uncovered a mathematical text written in an unknown language Chi-Epsilon. An initial analysis has determined the following basic digits were used throughout the text. 4, 9, 3, 8, 1, 7, 6, 5, 2, χ, ε, 0 Assuming the following equivalences have been determined (decimal on the left), 0 = 0, 6 = 6, 20 = 18, 50 = 42, 12 = 10 When the King counted the years of his reign, he was using a new digit after every year until about dozen years into it, he realized he needed a better system. In the twelfth year, he declared it 10. And after that, he used, 11. And so on. what is the likely decimal that χ represents?
