Problem
Bernardo chooses a three-digit positive integer 
and writes both its base-5 and base-6 representations on a blackboard. Later LeRoy sees the two numbers Bernardo has written. Treating the two numbers as base-10 integers, he adds them to obtain an integer 
. For example, if 
, Bernardo writes the numbers 
and 
, and LeRoy obtains the sum 
. For how many choices of 
are the two rightmost digits of , in order, the same as those of 
?
