The first n digits of the decimal expansion of PI (=3.14159265...) add up to 111*m, such that (2*m)²=n .

Find n & m .

   10   point 224
   20   Pi=cutspc(str(#pi)):Pi=left(Pi,1)+mid(Pi,3,*)
   30   for N=1 to 1000
   40     Tot1=Tot1+val(mid(Pi,N,1)):Tot2=Tot2+val(mid(Pi,N+1,1))
   50     if Tot1 @ 111=0 then
   60       :M=Tot1//111
   70       :if 4*M*M=N then print N,M,Tot1,"tot1"
   80     if Tot2 @ 111=0 then
   90       :M=Tot2//111
  100       :if 4*M*M=N then print N,M,Tot2,"tot2"
  110   next N
OK
run

This shows that n = 144 and m = 6, making 111*m = 666, the number of the beast according to Revelation (the Apocalypse), the last book of the New Testament.

The notation "tot2" indicates that the counting for n begins at the 1 after the decimal point, rather than the 3 at the beginning of pi.

The 144 digits involved that add up to 666 are given by:
