Perfect Squares (Posted on 2003-04-05) Difficulty: 5 of 5
Show that the numbers of the form:

444444....4444888888....8889

[Where there are 'k' Fours, '(k-1)' Eights and 'Exactly One' 9],

are always perfect squares.

(For example the sequence of numbers: 49, 4489, 444889, ....etc. and so on are always perfect squares).
