Three different 5-digit perfect squares between them use five different digits. No two of these squares share a common first digit, nor a common last digit. Each of the five digits is used a different number of times, the five numbers of times being the same as the five digits of the perfect squares. At least 3 digits are used their own number of times. What are the three squares? (Theme suggested by New Scientist, March 2011)

The solution should read 'See Charlie's solution for a good method', rather than simply '?"
