There are $n$ coins in a row, $n\geq 2$. If one of the coins is head, select an odd number of consecutive coins (or even 1 coin) with the one in head on the leftmost, and then flip all the selected coins upside down simultaneously. This is a $move$. No move is allowed if all $n$ coins are tails. Suppose $m-1$ coins are heads at the initial stage, determine if there is a way to carry out $ \lfloor\frac {2^m}{3}\rfloor $ moves

The sequence of digits \[ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 0 1 1 1 2 1 3 1 4 1 5 1 6 1 7 1 8 1 9 2 0 2 1 \dots \] is obtained by writing the positive integers in order. If the $10^n$-th digit in this sequence occurs in the part of the sequence in which the $m$-digit numbers are placed, define $f(n)$ to be $m$. For example, $f(2)=2$ because the 100th digit enters the sequence in the placement of the two-digit integer 55. Find, with proof, $f(1987)$.
