(In reply to Solution - brute force by andre)

Yes, I get these five also:

DEFDBL A-Z
minb = -INT(-SQR(100000))
maxb = INT(SQR(999999))
PRINT minb; maxb, minb * minb; maxb * maxb

FOR b = minb TO maxb
  n1 = VAL(LEFT$(LTRIM$(STR$(b * b)), 3))
  n2 = VAL(RIGHT$(LTRIM$(STR$(b * b)), 3))
  sr = INT(SQR(n1) + .5)
  IF sr * sr = n1 THEN
    sr = INT(SQR(n2) + .5)
    IF sr * sr = n2 THEN
       PRINT b, b * b
    END IF
  END IF
NEXT

 b              b^2
380           144400
475           225625
506           256036
570           324900
759           576081
