2003 The first digit cannot be zero because then the number would be less than 1459. Similarly the first digit cannot be greater than 2 because then the number would be more than 2569. Therefore, the first digit must be 2. Then, so far, we have 20__. We see now that any number in this range is greater than 1459 and less than 2569. So a complete answer would be 2000, 2001, 2002, ..., 2099.
