Question: A calculator has an eight-digit display and a decimal point that is located at the extreme right of the number displayed, at the extreme left, or between any pair of digits. The calculator can also display a minus sign at the extreme left of the number. How many distinct numbers can the calculator display? (Note that certain numbers are equal, such as 1.9, 1.90, and 01.900, and should, therefore, not be counted twice.)
