7 but ( n + 2) does not?2
Answer: 27
Solution: The last digit of a square is never 7. No two-digit squares begin with 7.
There are no 3-digit squares beginning with the digits 17, 27, 37, or 47. In fact, thesmallest square containing the digit 7 is 576 = 24 . Checking the next few numbers,2
2 2 2 2 2
we see that 25 = 625, 26 = 676, 27 = 729, 28 = 784, and 29 = 841, so the answeris 27.
