From Bernard Schott, May 04 2022: (Start)
All terms end with 2 or 8, because when k ends with 4 or 6, the tens digit of k^2 is always odd.
Squares are a subsequence of A103751.
This sequence is infinite because terms of the form 8, 68, 668, 6668, ..., have respectively squares equal to 64, 4624, 446224, 44462224, ... In fact, if m = (10^k+20)/15 and k >= 2, then m^2 has successively (k-2) 4's, one 6, (k-2) 2's, and one 4 in its decimal representation; hence, A073555 \ {1} is a subsequence. (End)
