The answer isn't 100,000, unless the question is "how many times is
the last digit a 1?".
If the question is "how many 1's show up over the course of a million
miles?", the answer is 600,000: 100,000 per digit.
If the question is "how many miles does the car drive with a 1 showing
on the odometer?", the answer is 468,559. Much harder to calculate
without brute force counting.
