Salzmank Re Swordfish Club Couldn't figure this one out. Then I had a Eureka moment! Square the guard's number and reverse the answer.
============
Guard: Hello, sir. How are you this evening?
Member: Fine, thanks.
Guard: Four?
4 x 4 = 16 > 61
Member: Interesting. Sixty-one.
------------
Guard: That's silly. Five?
5 x 5 = 25 > 52
Member: Fifty-two.
-------------
Guard: I'll let the president know. Six?
6 x 6 = 36 > 63
Member: Sixty-three.
-------------
Guard: Huh. Seven?
7 x 7 = 49 > 94
Member: Ninety-four.
--------------
Guard: What do you think of eight?
8 x 8 = 64 > 46
Member: Forty-six, my good man.
Guard: Excellent. Welcome in.
And the guard lets him in.
Well, John goes right up to the guard.
Guard: Hello, sir. How are you this evening?
John: Uh, well...
Guard: Excellent, sir. Nine?
9 x 9 = 81 > 18
John's reply? Eighteen =============
To quote the words of Mr Memory..."Am I correct sir!?"
