"""
Working from left-to-right if no digit is exceeded by the digit to its left it is
called an increasing number; for example, 134468.
Similarly if no digit is exceeded by the digit to its right it is called a decreasing
number; for example, 66420.
We shall call a positive integer that is neither increasing nor decreasing a "bouncy"
number, for example, 155349.
Clearly there cannot be any bouncy numbers below one-hundred, but just over half of
the numbers below one-thousand (525) are bouncy. In fact, the least number for which
the proportion of bouncy numbers first reaches 50% is 538.
Surprisingly, bouncy numbers become more and more common and by the time we reach
21780 the proportion of bouncy numbers is equal to 90%.

Find the least number for which the proportion of bouncy numbers is exactly 99%.
