How many 1s? (Posted on 2004-07-26) Difficulty: 2 of 5
If I took all the numbers from one to one billion:
  1. How many of them contain at least one '1'?
  2. If I wrote them out in one long line, how many 1 digits would there be?

I don't think I could state it any better than Federico did in his solution.

His calculations come up to 612,579,512 for question 1, and 900,000,001 for question 2.
