OFFSET
1,1
COMMENTS
The number of n-digit numbers that start with this substring is 12*10^(n-2), n>=3, hence about 12% of n-digit numbers are of this kind, n>=3. None of the numbers that start with this substring begin with 9.
EXAMPLE
The 3-digit numbers with this substring are 120, 130, ..., 190, ... 890, 891, ..., 897 (there are 120 of these). The next numbers after 879 are 1200, 1201, etc. since they contain the string 120.
There are numbers of any length n, n>=3, that contain this substring, such as *231 or 231** where * is free since the substring 231 is already there.
