Abstract
We consider integers whose squares have just three decimal digits. Examples are e.g. given by and . The aim of this paper is to summarize the current knowledge on squares with three digits, scattered around webpages and newsgroup postings, and to add a few new insights. While we will mostly focus on the base , several results are presented for general values of . The used mathematical tools are completely elementary. However, we give complete proofs of all statements or explicitly state them as conjectures.
