Is there an algorithm for choosing a base where a given digit of a given number appears the most times, that works better then trial and error? (see also this)

If you aren't picky, choosing base 1 or some irrational base will likely work. I don't think you should invent a term like "oneier" though. Gerhard "Inventing Words Is Sorta Fun" Paseman, 2013.02.02 – Gerhard Paseman Feb 2 at 16:40
