There are four unknown numbers connected by the equation
A = B * C + D
Following is known about the numbers:
1. A is a four digit perfect square
2. B is a three digit perfect square
Four people seated in a room were independently given the task of finding out the numbers. Each of these 4 was given the value of one of the 4 quantities, A,B,C,D, and was asked to calculate the 3 others. Each one knew which quantity each of the others was given, but not its value. Following is the sequence of the events which took place after this:
1. After about an hour of the start of this task, one of the four had found out the correct answer.
2. After a few minutes, one more person was ready with the answer.
3. Soon after, another person was ready with the four numbers.
4. Finally, the fourth one also got the answers correct.
Your task is to find out the four numbers.
And if you get stuck with multiple answers, there is a hint:
If i told you about the quantity the last guy who came in with the answer knew, you could easily come up with the numbers yourself.
