Once in a restaurant ***Dr. Strange*** found out that there were 12 types of food items from 1 to 12 on the menu. He decided to visit the restaurant 12 days in a row and try a different food everyday. 1st day, he tries one of the items from the first two. On the 2nd day, he eats either item 3 or the item he didn’t tried on the 1st day. Similarly, on the 3rd day, he eats either item 4 or the item he didn’t tried on the 2nd day. If someday he's not able to choose items that way, he eats the item that remained uneaten from the menu. In how many ways can he eat the items for 12 days?
