Problem 12

Define a sequence $a_0, a_1, a_2, ...$ by \[a_i=\underbrace{1\ldots1}_{2^{i}\text{ 1's}}\underbrace{0\ldots0}_{(2^i-1)\text{ 0's}}1_2,\] where $a_i$ is expressed in binary. Let $S$ be the sum of the digits when $a_0 a_1 a_2 \cdots a_{10}$ is expressed in binary. Find the remainder when $S$ is divided by $1000$.
