1^2 = 1.
2^2 = 4.
3^2 = 9.
4^2 = 16.
5^2 = 25.
6^2 = 36.
BUT 23 IS NOT SQUARED.
2^2 = 4.
3^2 = 9.
4^2 = 16.
5^2 = 25.
6^2 = 36.
BUT 23 IS NOT SQUARED.

1^2 + 2 ^2 + 3^2 + 4^2 + 5^2 + 6^2.
In this condition the values(series) is given.
Here 23 is unnecessary present here.
So 23 is the answer.

Why can't it be 23?
The difference between them is odd and following a sequence like 3, 5, 7, 7, 9. So it can be 23 also I think.

Except 23 other no. Can be obtained by squaring 1, 2, 3, 4. , 5 so, 23 is the answer.

1*1=1.
2*2=4.
3*3=9.
4*4=16.
5*5=25.
6*6=36.
23 is prime number and it has no square root so that the answer is 23.
2*2=4.
3*3=9.
