One thousand students participate in the $2011$ Canadian Closed Mathematics Challenge. Each student is assigned a unique three-digit identification number $abc,$ where each of $a, b$ and $c$ is a digit between $0$ and $9,$ inclusive. Later, when the contests are marked, a number of markers will be hired. Each of the markers will be given a unique two-digit identification number $xy,$ with each of $x$ and $y$ a digit between $0$ and $9,$ inclusive. Marker $xy$ will be able to mark any contest with an identification number of the form $xyA$ or $xAy$ or $Axy,$ for any digit $A.$ What is the minimum possible number of markers to be hired to ensure that all contests will be marked?
