Today is Square Root Day

Huh? What’s this you say? If you’re a math geek, you already know this. But if you don’t, let me introduce you to a holiday that occurs only nine times in a century.

Tuesday is Square Root Day, a rare holiday that occurs when the day and the month are both the square root of the last two digits of the current year. Numerically, March 3, 2009, can be expressed as 3/3/09, or mathematically as ?9 = 3, or 3² = 3 × 3 = 9.

Interesting eh? What are your thoughts on this?
