0 . 0 0 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 6 7 7 8 9 = N 1
Given that N is a 3-digit integer, find N .
Note : The repeated digits are from 00, 11, 22, ..., 77,(those multiple 11), followed by 89, the period is 18.

Comparing their decimal expansions, we see N 1 0 0 − N 1 = 0 . 1 1 1 1 … = 9 1 .
In other words, N 9 9 = 9 1 and so N = 8 9 1 .
