What are the first 103069 square numbers?

Answer 1

You're not going to find any website, or any person for that matter, that will

give you anything, free of charge, that consists of 103,069 different items.

Even if they could be listed at 1 every second without stopping or slowing down,

it would take almost 29 hours to gather them all together for you.

However! Don't go away angry. I'm going to tell you how you can be the first one

on your block to build the list completely on your own, and amaze your friends:

-- Take a large sheet of writing paper. If you don't have a single sheet that's large

enough, then you can use several small ones.

-- Down the left side of the paper, list the counting numbers, from 1 to 103,069 .

-- Go down the list of numbers, one by one. For each number, multiply the number

by itself, using a calculator or a separate scratch-pad. Write the result next to the

number on the list.

-- The first twenty results, in the second column on your paper, are: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25,

36, 49, 64, 81, 100, 121, 144, 169, 196, 225, 256, 289, 324, 361, 400 .

-- The last one is 10,623,218,761 .

-- If you progress through your list at an average rate of one item per minute,

and work on it for 4 hours every day, you'll finish the job on the 430th day.
