My science class is pretty small. There are just 18 students in the class. My teacher, Mr. Burnett, has an unusual system for picking lab partners. He has given each student a number from 1 to 18, and on lab days, he pulls two numbers out of a bag to match people up. During our last lab, I noticed that the sum of each pairing was a perfect square. How were the partners paired with each other?
