Question
Write five numbers which you cannot decide whether they are square just by looking at the unit's digit.
✓
Answer
A number whose unit digit is $2, 3, 7$ or $8$ cannot be a perfect square.
On the other hand, a number whose unit digit is $1, 4, 5, 6, 9$ or $0$ might be a perfect square although we have to verify that. Applying these two conditions,
we cannot determine whether the following numbers are squares just by looking at their unit digits, $1111, 1001, 1555, 1666$ and $1999$
