Mathematics × Programming Competition #8

13/10/2017 UTC 15:00 - 20/10/2017 UTC 15:00

Ken has a four-digit calculator which displays numbers using the seven-segment-display. For example the number 159 is displayed as

Suppose we want to use non-transparent cards to represent all the possible 4-digit numbers from 0000 to 9999. Each card will show one 4-digit number, where the numbers are written using seven-segment-display. However when some cards are rotated 180°, a new number can be formed. For example when the card 0159 is rotated 180°, it becomes 6510.

Considering the possibility of rotating a card 180°, what is the minimum number of non-transparent cards required to represent all the possible 4-digit numbers from 0000 to 9999?

Ken有一部只能顯示四位數的計算器，它使用七段顯示來顯示數字。例如，159顯示為

假設我們要使用非透明卡紙來表示從0000到9999所有可能的4位數字。每張卡紙將顯示一個4位數字，而這些數字是使用七段顯示器所寫成的。留意當某些卡片旋轉180°時，可以形成新的數字。例如當卡片0159旋轉180°時，它將變成6510。

考慮到將卡紙旋轉180°的可能性，最少需要多少張卡紙才能表示從0000到9999所有可能的4位數字？
