Problem Statement

All perfect squares, and all perfect squares multiplied by two, are written in a row in increasing order. let f(n)f(n) be the nn-th number in this sequence. (For instance, f(1)=1,f(2)=2,f(3)=4,f(4)=8f(1)=1,f(2)=2,f(3)=4,f(4)=8.) Is there an integer nn such that all the numbers f(n),f(2n),f(3n),,f(10n2)f(n),f(2n),f(3n),\dots,f(10n^2) are perfect squares?
