We say that a positive integer $n$ is $m$[i]-expressible[/i] if it is possible to get $n$ from some $m$ digits and the six operations $+,-,\times,\div$, exponentiation $^\wedge$, and concatenation $\oplus$.

Does there exist a positive integer $N$ such that all positive integers with $N$ digits are $(N-1)$-expressible? [i]Proposed by Krit Boonsiriseth[/i]
