Problem

A number was left written on the white board after a maths class. The number consisted of one hundred 0’s, one hundred 1’s, and one hundred 2’s as digits. A cleaner was about to wipe it off when suddenly he saw a small comment written in a corner. The comment stated that the number was a square number. He fetched a sigh and wrote “it not a square number”. Why was he right?
