Squaring a Square Grid (Posted on 2009-10-10) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Place 16 nonzero base ten digits in the cells of a 4x4 square grid, with each digit occurring in a cell exactly once. The digits can be considered as forming eight 4-digit numbers, read left to right and top to bottom, each of which is a perfect square. Since there are more than nine cells, there will be an obvious repetition of digits.

Are you taking "repetition of digits" to mean within a particular square number? I'm sure the "obvious" means that there's repetition among the 4x4 = 16 digits of the whole grid.

Or are you assuming that none of the 4-digit squares can repeat?
