:::::Ah, <i>that</i>'s what you meant, that the sequence should contain ALL non-squares. I'm not sure if the task did ask that, maybe the author should clarify. --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 05:01, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

::::::The task asks for the ''sequence of non-square natural numbers''. If in doubt, it even gives a link to OEIS sequence A000037. It's not really bad to check that there are no squares in this sequence, but it would be better to check that all non-squares are here. Since it's not difficult to do, there is no reason no to do it I think. [[User:Toucan|Toucan]] 06:14, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

:::::::With over fifty examples, it is too late to mess around with the task goals, although I probably did miss the chance to ensure that the non-square naturals are represented up to a limit. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 06:28, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
