Question 19

A calculator has a squaring key $\boxed{x^2}$ that replaces the number currently displayed with its square. For example, if the display reads $\boxed{\phantom{00}3}$ and $\boxed{x^2}$ is pressed, the display becomes $\boxed{\phantom{00}9}.$ If the display reads $\boxed{\phantom{00}2},$ how many times must $\boxed{x^2}$ be pressed to produce a displayed number greater than $500?$
  1. $4$
  2. $5$
  3. $8$
  4. $9$
  5. $250$
