RU-ALLRUSSIAN 1981 Problem 20

    Each of the numbers from 100 to 999 inclusive is written on a separate card. The cards are arranged in a pile in random order. We take cards off the pile one at a time and stack them into 10 piles according to the last digit. We then put the 1 pile on top of the 0 pile, the 2 pile on top of the 1 pile and so on to get a single pile. We now take them off one at a time and stack them into 10 piles according to the middle digit. We then consolidate the piles as before. We then take them off one at a time and stack them into 10 piles according to the first digit and finally consolidate the piles as before. What can we say about the order in the final pile?
