First perfect square in base n with n unique digits
Find the first perfect square in a given base N that has at least N digits and exactly N significant unique digits when expressed in base N.
E.G. In base 10, the first perfect square with at least 10 unique digits is 1026753849 (32043²).
You may use analytical methods to reduce the search space, but the code must do a search. Do not use magic numbers or just feed the code the answer to verify it is correct.
- Task
- Find and display here, on this page, the first perfect square in base N, with N significant unique digits when expressed in base N, for each of base 2 through 12. Display each number in the base N for which it was calculated.
- (optional) Do the same for bases 13 through 16.
- (stretch goal) Continue on for bases 17 - ?? (Big Integer math)

Using Factorial base numbers indexing permutations of a collection
On the discussion page for Factorial base numbers indexing permutations of a collection an anonymous contributor queries the value of Factorial base numbers indexing permutations of a collection. Well let's see him use an inverse Knuth shuffle to partially solve this task. This solution only applies to bases that do not require an extra digit. Still I think it's short and interesting.
Note that the minimal candidate is 1.0....0 as a factorial base number.

const maxBase = 28

As long as you have the patience, this will work for bases 2 through 36.
Bases 2 through 19 finish quickly, (about 10 seconds on my system), 20 takes a while, 21 is pretty fast, 22 is glacial. 23 through 26 takes several hours.
Use analytical start value filtering based on observations by Hout++ and Nigel Galloway++ on the discussion page.

Only search square numbers that have at least N digits; smaller could not possibly match.

REXX
The REXX language doesn't have
a sqrt function, nor does it have a general purpose
radix (base) convertor,
so RYO versions were included here.
These REXX versions can handle up to base 36.

Visual Basic .NET
This is faster than the Go version, but not as fast as the Pascal version. The Pascal version uses an array of integers to represent the square, as it's more efficient to increment and check that way.
This Visual Basic .NET version uses BigInteger variables for computation. It's quick enough for up to base19, tho.<lang vbnet>Imports System.Numerics
