base 3 numbers with 4 digits - 1000-2222 which is 27-80

base 6 numbers with 2 digits- 10-55 which is 6-35

the range is 27-35

the average is just the middle number for odd number consecutive positives

middle is 31

So the average of the positive integers, when written in base 3 that contains 4 digits but in base 6 contain 2 digits, is 31.
