A "Square" Day to Remember

Hi,

Get ready for some number magic! Do you know that we have a special date this month? It's called a Perfect Square Day!

Look at the date: 4/9/25.

• The day is 2² =4.

• The month is 3² =9.

• The year is 5²=25.

Wait, there's more! The year itself, 2025, is also a perfect square: 45². This makes 2025 a truly special year, as it's the only perfect square year in most of our lifetimes. (The last one was in 1936, and the next isn't until 2116!)

And for the final piece of numerical perfection: Did you know that the number 2025 is also the sum of the cubes of the first nine counting numbers?

 2025 = 1³ + 2³ + 3³ + 4³ + 5³ + 6³ + 7³ + 8³ + 9³

It's a rare day when the date and the year align so perfectly, and even rarer when the year has such a beautiful mathematical property. How's that for a cosmic coincidence? ✨

Happy belated Perfect Square Day, everyone!
