Happy "Square Root Day"!

[DarkPhenyx]

Yes indeed! Today is square root day. Why you ask? Simple. Look at the date and ask yourself what is the square root of 4.

1. Wouldn't there be one of these every month?

n/t

[DarkPhenyx]

3. Nope.

it isn't every year even that you have a day and month that have the same numeric value and when multiplied together equal the year. The next square root day won't be until 3 March 2009.

4. Huh?

sqrt(2004) = 44.766058571198782722078752353127

The next perfect square year will be 2025. The one before that was 1936.

Ohhh, I se. Two digits for year. 2 x 2 = 4. I hope you're not a computer programer. :evilgrin:

6. Naaaaaaaa, I'm a cancer researcher.

Mmmm, maybe that isn't any better. :) Would probably explain my stunningly low pay as well. Gee.

12. Did your patients go flying like hummingbirds in Jan 1st, 2000?

Brownie points for whoever gets the TV reference.

[DarkPhenyx]

13. I don't watch TV, so I'm out.

The answer to your question would be no. Of course this is more because I don't have patients, per se...unless you consider cell cultures and mice/rats as patients.

Wrongly positioned. :dunce:

2. Nay, each day is a square root day

eom

5. Sis! Boom! Bah! We're the square root of 1!

Just thought we needed a cheer!

[DarkPhenyx]

7. Works for me!

Anything to help celebrate intellect over ignorance.

8. Does that mean tomorrow is Cube Root Day?

as in the cube root of 9?

[DarkPhenyx]

9. It could be.

Can always use another holiday I can "get into". Please explain to the class how tomorrow works out to be "Cube Root Day".

14. Frankly, I hadn't had enough coffee when I posted

I'm not sure what the rules are. All I know is it appears every month has square root and cube root days.

But it would appear that the next day like this would have to be 2/³/08.

Of course there could also be 3/²/09.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

10. That would be March 3, 2009, as per DarkPhenyx rules (nt)

[VelmaD]

18. No, that's still a Square Root Day...

a cube root day would be 2/2/2008 since 2 is the cube root of 8. 2x2x2=8

15. My algebra teacher said this to us on 9/9/81.

:hi:

[DarkPhenyx]

17. That's It!

I was trying to remember which day it was that my Algebra teacher told us about it. I am probbly the only student he had who actually remembers, but for some reason it stuck. Thanks for the reminder.

16. Happy Square Root Day!

Can I have the day off from work for that? :-)
