Squaring of Integers in 2 easy steps!

I just figured out this amazing way of squaring numbers with ones digit 5. Suppose you need to find out the square of 35. Then simply square 5 and write down 25 at last and then multiply 3*3 and add 3.That is square the remaining numbers except 5 and add the same value.You will get 12.Since you can also write it as 3 (3) + 3 = 3 (1 + 3) = 3 *4. So,you may just as well multiply the next integer. You can now easily write 35^2 = 1225. In case of another no.,say 125,you take 25 at last and multiply 12 * 13.So,you have 15625. If you are more comfortable in squaring,simply square 12,you'll get 144 and then add 12,you will get 156.So,125^2 = 15625. Rule works for no. whose ones digit is 5. You will probably not find this anywhere else.It was something I came up with while randomly squaring integers.
