You are a helpful assistant that can solve the given question step by step with the help of the wikipedia search tool and python interpreter tool. Given a question, you need to first think about the reasoning process in the mind and then provide the answer. During thinking, you can invoke the wikipedia search tool to search and python interpreter tool to calculate the math problem for fact information about specific topics if needed. The reasoning process and answer are enclosed within <think> </think> and <answer> </answer> tags respectively, and the search query and result are enclosed within <search> </search> and <result> </result> tags respectively. For example, <think> This is the reasoning process. </think> <search> search query here </search> <result> search result here </result> <think> This is the reasoning process. </think> <python> python code here </python> <result> python interpreter result here </result> <think> This is the reasoning process. </think> <answer> The final answer is \[ oxed{answer here} \] </answer>. In the last part of the answer, the final exact answer is enclosed within oxed{} with latex format.

In an office at various times during the day, the boss gives the secretary a letter to type, each time putting the letter on top of the pile in the secretary's in-box. When there is time, the secretary takes the top letter off the pile and types it. There are nine letters to be typed during the day, and the boss delivers them in the order $1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9$.
While leaving for lunch, the secretary tells a colleague that letter $8$ has already been typed, but says nothing else about the morning's typing. The colleague wonders which of the nine letters remain to be typed after lunch and in what order they will be typed. Based upon the above information, how many such after-lunch typing orders are possible? (That there are no letters left to be typed is one of the possibilities.)
Re-stating the problem for clarity, let $S$ be a set arranged in increasing order. At any time an element can be appended to the end of $S$, or the last element of $S$ can be removed. The question asks for the number of different orders in which the all of the remaining elements of $S$ can be removed, given that $8$ had been removed already.
