Problem Statement

A board has 22, 44, and 66 written on it. A person repeatedly selects (not necessarily distinct) values for xx, yy, and zz from the board, and writes down xyz+xy+yz+zx+x+y+zxyz+xy+yz+zx+x+y+z if and only if that number is not yet on the board and is also less than or equal to 20132013. This person repeats this process until no more numbers can be written. How many numbers will be written at the end of the process?
