Well how so we know it's a square? Huh? I mean he said it but how do we know that's right? Me go get cacultor, me find.

Edit: The first 6 digt square is 317. I'm going up from there.

Well, It can't be a square and a cube. That would mean its something to the 6th power. And only 7^6, 8^6, and 9^6 have 6 digits, while none of those add up to 43. That means its a square OR a cube (but he gave away its a square, so it can't be a cube), AND under 500000. I gotta go now, so I can't bother to figure out exactly which one it is, but it won't be too difficult now.

Actually it can be a square and a cube.
Square root 16 you get 4.
Cube root 16 you get 2.
Anyways and number is a cube or square, it's just some numbers are perfect squares and cube roots.

Bythe way is there a time limit to when you have to have the awanser?

Um... No.

Cubes are things to the 3rd power, not 4th. If its not already a square before you cube it, it won't be a square after you cube it. Its the same as saying that if an integer isn't even before you multiply by 3, its most definitely not gonna be even after you multiply by 3. capnchicken has it down.

Squares are if they make a perfect square, like the polygon, cubed are if it makes a perfect cube polygon. you can't have a 2D square that's also and 3D cube. I really doesnt work
