We call a number memorable if every digit in the number is either a $1$ or adjacent to a $1.$ For example, the numbers $111,$ $81,$ $101,$ and $1771$ are all memorable, but the numbers $12321,$ $786,$ $140,$ and $1999$ are not memorable. How many positive $3$-digit numbers are memorable?

A 3-digit number is memorable if it is of the form 1B1 or A1C.  This gives us 10 + 10*10 = 110 3-digit memorable numbers.
