Thea has a key on her calculator marked *. If an integer is displayed, pressing the * key chops off the first digit and moves it to the end. For example, if 6138 is on the screen, then pressing the * key changes the display to 1386.

Thea enters a positive integer into her calculator, then squares it, then presses the * key, then squares the result, then presses the * key again. After all these steps, the calculator displays 248. What number did Thea originally enter?

See the answer here: Check the numbers in your question carefully. 248 maybe 243.
