In the university hall, Professor Tupolev meets Professor Grigolev, a long-time friend who has recently joined the faculty.

Professor Tupolev : Glad to see you, Grigor. I'm in a hurry now, I'll call you later. What is your extension ?

Professor Grigolev :
2025, Professor....

Professor Tupolev :
Goodness ! A strange number. Sum up its first two digits with the second two you obtain 45, which is the square root of the number itself !

Professor Grigolev :
Really fascinating, Maybe we could discuss it later ... By the way, Tupolev, what is your telephone number here ?

Professor Tupolev :
Very simple, my dear Grigor. It is the next four-digit number after 2025 which has the same wonderful properties. Wath is Professor Tupolev's extension number?
