COMMENTS
As the sequence tends to infinity the value of the least significant digit is always 6. The next digit is 4 or 9.
EXAMPLE
a(1) = 2.
a(2) = 2^2 = 4.
a(3) = 4^2 = 16.
a(4) = 1^2 *10 + 6^2 = 10 + 36 = 46.
a(5) = 4^2 *10 + 6^2 = 160 + 36 = 196.
a(6) = 1^2 *100 + 9^2 *10 + 6^2 = 100 + 810 +36 = 946.
