Today is 3/3/09. The square root of 9 is 3. And if you multiply both of the 3s in todays date you'll get a 9. No Im not a geek but a friend told me that it was Square Root Day. She told me that she heard it on a radio. I heard some other people talking about it and they heard it on the radio. Its pretty cool. the next Square Root Day is 7 years from now, 4/4/16.

heard the same thing guess it only happens 9 times a century and we missed 2/2/04 and like you said the next is 4/4/16. That is pretty cool that math nerds have a holiday all to their own. the best part is once we get by 2016 the dumbing down of this country means 99% of the people will not know the next one.

Lol. I didn't realize 2/2/04 went by. Wow I guess I wasn't all geeky then. Wow I didn't know it only happents 9 times a century. There should be some time of celebration with a cake shapped like a calculator. Or better yet shaped like a square root symbol.

Can you imagine it, at MIT and Cal Poly Tech, they have little square vegatables and chicken wing platters laid out in the square root symbol. Too Funny

Oh what a beautiful observation. Who is your friend that tells you?? He is great and what is the station of that radio and that station is awesome. How come to think of it?? I never realize or even care about such thing. Yet caught my attention.

I can't remember the station. I never really notice. It is pretty amazing when you think about it. I wonder who discovered this holiday.
