"Benford" not "Benson". :-) If I were to approach this from the point of view of actual proof, I'd note that the problem is one of representation. In base 2, the result is trivially true since the reverse of all powers of 2 is 1. In base 5, likewise, the reverse of all powers of 5 is 1. Base 10 = 2*5, which may or may not be significant...
