Spoiler for my last "guess"...

~150. Maybe just a bit higher.

I haven't worked out the mechanics of it (yet). But I'm still probing base 5 by hand.

Spoiler for

A note: I've been using the first number as a column base and the second one as coordinates. I can't say that it's anywhere near right yet, though.

For instance, 4 */* 2 =

[ 0 1 2 3 4 ]
[ 5 6 7 8 9 ]
[ 10 11 ... ]

Another interesting thing to note is 100 */* 93 = 186.

@Araver: Is 100 */* a = 2a? Or is that just a coincidence in this case?

EDIT: I don't think it's coincidence. And if you can't see my bold number 5 above, this is a note that it's bold. I'll underline it.

No to the guess.

That is a very interesting idea and indeed worthy of a mystery operation .

Spoiler for But

100 */* a is not always 2a. I'll add an example where it's not, OK?

Adding another example to the challenge (as promised to MM)

4 */* 2 = 5
12 */* 17 = 28
30 */* 10 = 36
100 */*	93 = 186
42 */* 35 = 72
100 */* 21 = 116
------------------
48 */* 73 = ?

Adding 2 more examples to the challenge (since I forgot yesterday)

4 */* 2 = 5
12 */* 17 = 28
30 */* 10 = 36
100 */*	93 = 186
42 */* 35 = 72
100 */* 21 = 116
12 */* 11 = 22
19 */* 29 = 48
------------------
48 */* 73 = ?

Indeed it does. Can you explain why?

Would you like me to? Got another lined up? In the vain of octopuppy, here's a fun one --> 238 */* 222 = 444
