Perfect Squares
A perfect square is some whole number times itself: 144 = 12², 10000 = 100². The range ends neatly on 1,000,000 = 1000².
How long might perfect squares take?
1 in 999 per roll · 999 rolls on average.
At one daily specimen a day, the mean is about 2.7 years. A 50% chance takes 693 rolls; 90% takes 2,300.

2.96% chance of at least one match in 30 independent rolls.
Waiting times are averages, not deadlines. Previous misses do not increase the next roll’s chance. Only Daily Specimens stamp your Atlas.
Squares thin out in the most visible way of any trait here: the gap between consecutive squares grows steadily, so their density falls like 1 / (2√n). Only about a thousand exist below a million, as the count above confirms.
That makes a perfect square a substantially stronger claim than being prime, despite squares feeling more familiar — a good demonstration of why RNGdle scores from measured frequency rather than intuition.
Squares also interact with the digit patterns: a square that is also a palindrome, like 698896, is genuinely exceptional, and several such numbers rank near the top of the leaderboard.
Highest-scoring examples
The best-scoring numbers of four digits or more that carry this pattern. Shorter numbers are excluded here because their length alone dominates any score ranking.

Prime Numbers
A prime has no divisors other than 1 and itself. They are the building blocks every other number is assembled from.
Semiprime Numbers
A semiprime is a product of exactly two primes, counted with multiplicity — 15 = 3 × 5, and 49 = 7 × 7 counts too.
Perfect Cubes
A perfect cube is a whole number raised to the third power: 216 = 6³, 970299 = 99³. There are only about a hundred in the entire range.
Powers of Two
Each power of two is double the last: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and on up through 1024, 65536 and 524288. Doubling exhausts the range in only twenty steps.
Fibonacci Numbers
Each Fibonacci number is the sum of the two before it: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 … reaching 832040 before the range runs out.
