To get the rerun of a positive integer, we write it twice in a row without a space (e.g. the rerun of 2026 is 20262026).
Is there a positive integer whose rerun is a perfect square? If so, how many such positive integers can you find? Are there infinitely many such positive integers? If not, then why not?
