%N a(n) is the smallest number not already in the sequence such that a(n)^2 begins with n.

%C Conjectured to be a permutation of the natural numbers.

%C Differs from A018851 at n = 25.

%H Derek Orr, <a href="/A260463/b260463.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10000</a>

%F a(n) >= sqrt(n) for all n > 0. If a(n) = sqrt(n), then n is a square. Note the converse is false: a(25) = 16.

%Y Cf. A018851.
