As Joshua Kimmich mentioned, there would be only 5 three-digit numbers, namely X = { 1 2 5 , 2 1 6 , 3 4 3 , 5 1 2 , 7 2 9 } . So, B A D can be a memeber of X . Then, we know that a square, mod 4 is either 0 , 1 . therefore, C B A D ≡ 0 , 1 ( m o d 4 ) . All members of X pass the test, except 3 4 3 . The new set is Y = { 1 2 5 , 2 1 6 , 5 1 2 , 7 2 9 } . Also note that A − C needs to be an even number, because
A B C D − C B A D = ( A − C ) 1 0 3 + ( C − A ) 1 0 = 1 0 ( A − C ) ( 1 0 2 − 1 ) = 9 × 1 0 × 1 1 ( A − C )
and 9 × 1 0 × 1 1 has only one 2 and we know that the difference of squares cannot have only one 2 .
So, when A , B , D are taken from memebers of Y , for any B A D , you get at most 4 possible C . So, you are gonna need to take 1 6 square roots in the worst case Scenario. Take the square root of C B A D , for a B A D ∈ Y and a possible C , and if it is a whole number, then test A B C D .
