[seqfan] Re: Middle digit in square numbers

[M. F. Hasler]

Lars' & Andrew's idea can obviously be generalised to any base b.
So there's also:
Smallest number > 1 whose square's (cube's,...) middle digit in base n is
d, for d = 0,1,2,3...
(Without the " > 1 " it becomes trivial for d=0 and 1, and for all other d
the number is anyway > 1.)

This and the initial idea also make sense for d >= b (the base), with
"digit" replaced by "digits".
Then, when d has an even number of digits, the square also must have an
even number of digits.

When d is a square, then the smallest x whose square has d as middle
digit(s) is sqrt(d).
Thus, alternatively to " > 1 ", one could also impose " > sqrt( d ) "
to make it non-trivial for all d.
