o n e - d i g i t - n u m b e r s :

3 \Rightarrow 1 n u m b e r \Rightarrow 1 t i m e

t w o - d i g i t - n u m b e r s :

x 3 \Rightarrow 8 n u m b e r s \Rightarrow 8 t i m e s

3 x \Rightarrow 9 n u m b e r s \Rightarrow 9 t i m e s

33 \Rightarrow 1 n u m b e r \Rightarrow 2 t i m e s

t h r e e - d i g i t - n u m b e r s :

x y 3 \Rightarrow 8 \times 9 = 72 n u m b e r s \Rightarrow 72 t i m e s

x 3 y \Rightarrow 8 \times 9 = 72 n u m b e r s \Rightarrow 72 t i m e s

3 x y \Rightarrow 9 \times 9 = 81 n u m b e r s \Rightarrow 81 t i m e s

x 33 \Rightarrow 8 n u m b e r s \Rightarrow 16 t i m e s

33 x \Rightarrow 9 n u m b e r s \Rightarrow 18 t i m e s

3 x 3 \Rightarrow 9 n u m b e r s \Rightarrow 18 t i m e s

333 \Rightarrow 1 n u m b e r s \Rightarrow 3 t i m e s

Σ t i m e s = 1 + 8 + 9 + 2 + 72 + 72 + 81 + 16 + 18 + 18 + 3

Σ t i m e s = 300

3 x y : 10 \times 10 = 100 t i m e s

x 3 y : 9 \times 10 = 90 t i m e s

3 y : 10 t i m e s

x y 3 : 9 \times 10 = 90 t i m e s

x 3 : 9 t i m e s

3 : 1 t i m e

Σ t i m e s = 100 + 100 + 100 = 300
