We call a number sticky if every digit in the number is either a 3 or next to a 3 For example, the numbers  333,83,303  and 3773  are all sticky, but the numbers 32523, 786, 340,   and 3999 are not sticky.

How many positive 2-digit numbers are sticky?

There are 10 two-digit numbers with a tens digit of 3, and 10 two-digit numbers with a units digit of 3, so the answer is 10 + 10 = 20.
