Hint
Try removing the spaces between the numbers.
Answer
48 and 11.
Reasoning
These are the squares of numbers without the correct spacing.
1 4 9 16 25 36 49 64 81 100
with no spaces becomes:
149162536496481100
broken into blocks of two:
14 91 62 53 64 96 48 11 00
So the next two in the sequence are 48 and 11.
