A picky princess is choosing a groom. One hundred grooms are courting her, each better than the last, and no two are equal. However, they propose in a random order. We will call a groom outstanding if the princess likes him more than all who have proposed before him. The first groom is also considered outstanding since no one came before him.

We will say that an outstanding groom and all those who propose after him but before the next outstanding groom (if there is one) form a sequence of grooms. Find the expected number of grooms in the first such sequence.
