[seqfan] Re: both n and n^2 use just digits (2,3,5,7}

[David Wilson]

5, 235, and 72335 are the only such numbers <= 31 digits.
I suspect there is a probabilistic argument that the number of such numbers is finite, and the probability of the existence of such a number with >= 32 digits is extremely small.
The only methods I know for categorically solving this question involve showing that for sufficient d, if a number n consists of d good digits, then n^2 either cannot start with d good digits or end with d good digits. These arguments do not work for the set of digits {2,3,5,7}.
So the answer to your question is almost certainly yes, but I doubt we'll ever prove it.
