Listing all the numbers of the kind x^x (x a whole number, and operating in base ten), the first occurrence of a string of seven digits six of which are identical is with the very middle of 96^96: 5555575.

To find a base in which KJIHGFEDCBA987654321 is prime, one has to go all the way to base 4500. Base 192 is the highest needed for the shorter strings, and you have to go up to (110)(109)(108)...321 to have need of a higher base than 4500.

Every base is base 10.
