Peter and Tom are playing a game where each of them alternately chooses at random an integer between 1 to 10,000, inclusive. Assume that Peter chooses first, and that the chosen integers may be repeated. What is the probability that the first integer selected by Peter is 4-digit number which contains exactly two-distinct digits, with each digit appearing twice?
