A happy square root day
If you can multiply the day by the month
and
it equals the last two digits of the year, then you are in the middle
of Square Root
Day.
This fantastic gift from the multiverse of numbers is a puzzle that's
only offered nine times a century, and so far has only been realized by
.09 percent of the population.
Is it a coincidence that it falls on the ninth year of this
century...with .09 percent believing...and only nine times every 100
years? Will you be the next to solve this mathematical brain teaser and
join the ranks of this shrinking population, or are you like me and
have yet to discover the full problem much less even part of the
solution?
Make your plans now for the next Square Root Day which will be April
4th 2016.
