Problem
How many integers between 
and 
have four distinct digits?
Solution 1
There are 
choices for the first number, since it cannot be 
, there are only choices left for the second number since it must differ from the first, 
choices for the third number, since it must differ from the first two, and 
choices for the fourth number, since it must differ from all three. This means there are 
integers between and with four distinct digits.
If you're too lazy to do 
, we can notice 
and 
The unit digit must be 6. Therefore the answer is the only answer with a a unit digit of 6.
