The lowest order of the squared squares with 21 internal squares is called the pluperfect square. It was discovered in 1978 by a computer scientist and mathemetician named A.J.W. Duijvestijn.

The Bouwkamp code for the pluperfect square is {50, 35, 27}, {8, 19}, {15, 17, 11}, {6, 24}, {29, 25, 9, 2}, {7, 18}, {16}, {42}, {4, 37}, {33}.
