A student did not notice the multiplication sign between two three-digit numbers and wrote one six-digit number. The result was three times greater.
Find these numbers.
a) Could an additional \(6\) digits be added to any \(6\)-digit number starting with a \(5\), so that the \(12\)-digit number obtained is a complete square?
b) The same question but for a number starting with a \(1\).
c) Find for each \(n\) the smallest \(k = k (n)\) such that to each \(n\)-digit number you can assign \(k\) more digits so that the resulting \((n + k)\)-digit number is a complete square.
Janine and Zahara each thought of a natural number and said them to Alex. Alex wrote the sum of the thought of numbers onto one sheet of paper, and on the other – their product, after which one of the sheets was hidden, and the other (on it was written the number of 2002) was shown to Janine and Zahara. Seeing this number, Janine said that she did not know what number Zahara had thought of. Hearing this, Zahara said that she did not know what number Janine had thought of. What was the number which Zahara had thought of?
