Celebrate Square Root Day: 3/3/2009!

[Jimmy Snyder]

Happy Square Root Day all. Today, 3/3/2009, is square root day because 3 \times 3 = 2009. That's as good a reason to have friends over for a beer as any.

Perhaps 3/3/09 makes a little more sense (if not as y2k compliant)

I'm looking forward to Valentines Day 2025. That will be a true square root day, where the square of the ordinal date will equal the year.

The last time that happened was Feb 13, 1936.

I always look forward to Valentines Day. I always get the Missus chocolates, and she always let's me have some. Even nuts.

Its easier to just eat pie on pi day. A square root is much harder to swallow.

this reminds me Pi day is coming up quick and in a hurry... got to start memorizing again woot.

Good call. I forgot all about it

I was going to check this, but google doesn't have nearly enough digits. Aside: Why can I do integrals on wolfram's website, but I can't do basic arithmetic?

Edit to add: yes, but if you square the pie first it's easier to take out of the pan

Ummm... any excuse to eat pie. Perhaps on square root day I should have made brownie squares! Any brownie recipes with ginger root?

Have you ever considered getting a hobby of some kind?

What do you get when you divide an apple's circumference by its diameter?

 

[physics girl phd]

YUM! --- an apple pi!
