The smallest four-digit number is 1000; however that is not a perfect square, so we must examine the successors to 1000, such as 1001, 1002, 1003, … .
You should be able to find the answer by examining no more than two dozen numbers. However, 40% of the candidates may be eliminated because no perfect square can end with any of the digits { 2, 3, 7, 8 ).
None of 1001, 1004, 1005, 1006, 1009 are perfect squares.
Furthermore, the ten’s digit of a perfect square cannot be odd, unless the one's digit is 6; therefore (in the next decade) it is only necessary to test 1016 — which is not a perfect square.
2020 and 2021 do not qualify, either.
