Question 24
How many strings of length $5$ formed from the digits $0,$ $1,$ $2,$ $3,$ $4,$ are there such that for each $j \in \{1,2,3,4\},$ at least $j$ of the digits are less than $j?$
(For example, $02214$ satisfies this condition because it contains at least $1$ digit less than $1,$ at least $2$ digits less than $2,$ at least $3$ digits less than $3,$ and at least $4$ digits less than $4.$ The string $23404$ does not satisfy the condition because it does not contain at least $2$ digits less than $2.$)
