two plans below to eat her candies.

Plan 1: She would eat half of the candies plus m extra each day.

13 Let a date in the format yyyy/mm/dd be f resh if and only if it is a valid date and contains no
repeating digits. For example, 1984/03/25 is f resh, while 1907/02/12 and 2018/76/54 both aren’t f resh
because the former contains repetitive digits and the latter isn’t valid. How many f resh dates are there
between year 1900 and 1999?
