2Authored explanation

Benjamin Schwartz introduced square permutations in Mathematics Magazine and proved existence on every zero-based initial interval. The indexing changes the answer: the zero-based problem has no exceptional orders, while the one-based candidate has six. Both use the same reflection construction. This source also separates the entry from the square-sum sequencing puzzle, which asks for a Hamiltonian path rather than a bipartite perfect matching.
