It is possible to solve . . .

        But it is very BORING problem,

                and you will learn NOTHING interesting or useful

                        after spending a lot of your EFFORTS and TIME . . .

3 * 300 for numbers 1 - 3000,
4*20 more for 3000 - 3400,
5 more for 3400 - 3449,
8 more for 3450 - 3456
3*300 + 4*20 + 5 + 8 = 993
