Puzzle – numerical one this time

This week I was with Arijit and he mentioned that he had not seen me posting puzzles in some time. And that is true. I had not received much answers or attempts for the last few ones. I figured nobody was interested. Let’s see how this one does. This is dedicated to Arijit.

Send me answers as personal messages on FB  instead of comments.

Can you come up with a ten digit number where the first digit is also the count of 1s in the full number, the sound digit is also the count of 2s, the third digit is also the count of 3s and so on and finally the tenth digit is the number of 0s in the number.

Three years and two months back, I had posted a variation of this problem.

Interesting flight announcement

After we settled down in our flight to Lexington (from Atlanta), the Delta lady came over the PA system. She started by “Welcome to our non-stop flight to Lexington” immediately followed by “Today’s flight will be a short 46 minute ride”.

And I am like – “What do you mean ‘non-stop’ ??? What are the other options? It is a 46 minute flight for crying out loud. Do the other flights to Lexington have to stop to refuel after 30 minutes?” 🙂

But I let it be since she got me a nice gin and tonic after her announcement 🙂
