Tutorial 42
Squaring numbers made up of 6's

  1. Choose a a number made up of sixes.
  2. The square is made up of:
    1. one fewer 4 than there are repeating 6's
    2. 3
    3. same number of 5's as 4's
    4. 6

   Example:

  1. If the number to be squared is 666
  2. The square of the number has:

     4's (one less than digits
         in number)           4 4
     3                             3
     5's (same number as 4's)        5 5
     6                                   6

  3. So 666 × 3666333 = 443556.

   See the pattern?

  1. If the number to be squared is 66666
  2. The square of the number has:

     4's (one less than digits
          in number)           4 4 4 4
     3                                 3
     5's (same number as 4's)            5 5 5 5
     6                                           6

  3. So 66666 × 66666 = 4444355556.
