Square Digits (Posted on 2024-03-12) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Are there squares S = n2 such that when you add S and its digits the result is also a square?

For example, if S were 25 then 25+2+5 would also have to be a square.

If so, give an example.
If not, prove it.

for n=1:100
  ns=num2str(n^2);
  s=str2double(ns)+sod(ns);
  sr=round(sqrt(s));
  if sr^2==s
    disp([n s sr])
  end
end

finds no such case below 100.

Above 100, the difference between successive squares is much larger than could be achieved by the sum of digits. For example, 101^2 - 100^2 = 201, while 101^2 is only 10201, a 5-digit number, which can't possibly exceed a sod of 45.
