COMMENTS

The sequence of squares starts: 1225, 1444, 2116, 4225, 5776, 6889, 7225, 101124, 112225, 121104, 128881, 144400, ...

By definition the sequence only contains numbers whose square has an even number of digits in base 10.

The sequence of middle digits starts: 2, 4, 1, 2, 7, 8, 2, 1, 2, 1, 8, 4, 6, 4, 0, ...

EXAMPLE

46 is in this sequence because its square, 2116, has its two middle digits equal to 1.

MAPLE

a:= proc(n) option remember; local k, kk, t;

for k from 1+`if`(n=1, 0, a(n-1)) do kk:=k^2;

t:= length(kk);

if t::even and irem(parse(substring(""||kk,

t/2..t/2+1)), 11)=0 then return k fi

end:

seq(a(n), n=1..80); # Alois P. Heinz, Dec 22 2016
