The answer to that is easy.  If you do any computing, it
makes you think in bases other thn decimal, which this
problem is.  if you add up the right column and subtract
the 'answer' from it, you most likely have the base that
is needed for the rest of the problem.  Just to check, use
that base to figure the other columns out.  This problem
comes out to be:

		161
		   7
		134
		   7
		145
		   7
		----
		503
		   7
