All Integers must end in one of the following digits:
0---when multiplied by itself-----------ends in 0
1---when multiplied by itself-----------ends in 1
2---when multiplied by itself-----------ends in 4
3---when multiplied by itself-----------ends in 9
4---when multiplied by itself-----------ends in 6
5---when multiplied by itself-----------ends in 5
6---when multiplied by itself-----------ends in 6
7---when multiplied by itself-----------ends in 9
8---when multiplied by itself-----------ends in 4
9---when multiplied by itself-----------ends in 1
In the column on the right, I don't see an 8

Hope this helps----ptaylor
