%N Numbers with digits in descending numerical order in base 2, 3 and 4 expansions.

%C a(10), if it exists, has more than 1000 decimal digits. Conjecture: there are no more terms in this sequence. - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, May 03 2016

%e 12 is 1100 in base 2, 110 in base 3 and 30 in base 4; in each representation every digit is smaller than or equal to the one proceeding so 12 is a term.

%e Similarly, 63 is 111111 in base 2, 2100 in base 3 and 333 in base 4 so it is also a term.
