That's ok, but I was more intrigued recently by

25840^2 + 43776^2 = 2584043776

which led me to Numberopedia. https://sites.google.com/site/numberopedia/

Meh, this is cool and all but is just a coincidence of base-10 notation, not some fundamental theorem about the integers.

In fact, searching for x such that 1+4x10^(Ceiling[Log10[x]])-4x^2 is a perfect square gives you tons of integers that make up half of a pair that has this property. 123288,328768 is my favorite pair, for arbitrary reasons.

Feels like a ProjectEuler problem.
