Let $A$ be the set of all ordered sequences $(a_1,a_2,...,a_{11})$ of zeros and ones. The elements of $A$ are ordered as follows: The first element is $(0,0,...,0)$, and the $n + 1$−th is obtained from the $n$−th by changing the first component from the right such that the newly obtained sequence was not obtained before. Find the $1992$−th term of the ordered set $A$
