When a question talks about distinct digits it means that the digits in 1 number should be distinct and not that they need to unique thoroughout.

Example, 110 is not an acceptable case as 1 is repeated but 132 and 231 will be 2 good values. 'Distinct' does not apply (usually) apply to different numbers.
