If you take a 2 or more digit number, you don't need a calculator to square it.
There's a pattern.
66² = 4,356
666² = 443,556
6,666² = 44,435,556
66,666² = 444,435,5556
And so on.
Take the number of sixes & subtract one.
Then, there's that number of 4s, followed by a 3, that number of 5s, and ends with a 6.
Just a fun fact of numbers that I like.
