Reply to comment by Oh_Tassos in [OC] A graphical visualisation of the answer to a problem from the Greek Mathematics Olympiad (*sort of) by Oh_Tassos

So the intent, I assume, was to quickly visualize if there were a finite number of corners or a repeated pattern?

I'm quite curious about the large yellow vertical line. I can't decide whether it's more reasonable that the line is a large swath of integers with no perfect squares containing 2 or 5; or a large swath where all such perfect squares are of the form n=4m+2.

It's the former, the difference between 1,530,609,129 and 1,499,470,729 which is equal to 31,138,400. That's way larger than any other numbers until that point. You can see this anomaly more clearly in the graph I linked near the end of my initial comment.
