Re: GMAT question - symantic problem?
[ QUOTE ]
That's what I got too, but the answer explanation says 990. There are 1000 ways to pick numbers, but 10 of them have all three with the same number (1 1 1, 2 2 2, etc).
I would buy this if the question read, "in which not all three digits are equal" rather than "in which all three digits are not equal."

Effing dumb. [censored] question, period. What kind of lame question would that be, even if it were worded properly?
(All three digits are not) (equal) is clumsy language. (All three digits are) (not equal) isn't great either, but is the better interpretation IMO. Just poorly written. Ass.
