If $x$ is a real number, let $\lfloor x \rfloor$ be the greatest integer that is less than or equal to $x$. If $n$ is a positive integer, let $S(n)$ be defined by \[ S(n) = \left\lfloor \frac{n}{10^{\lfloor \log n \rfloor}} \right\rfloor + 10 \left( n - 10^{\lfloor \log n \rfloor} \cdot \left\lfloor \frac{n}{10^{\lfloor \log n \rfloor}} \right\rfloor \right) \, . \] (All the logarithms are base 10.) How many integers $n$ from 1 to 2011 (inclusive) satisfy $S(S(n)) = n$?
