Its square root say today so dust the slide rules and recharge all your calculators. The math-buffs’ holiday occurs only nine times every century now, is on Tuesday March 03rd 2009.
“These days are like calendar comets, you wait and wait and wait for them, then they brighten up your day — and poof — they’re gone” was the comment of Ron Gordon, a Redwood City teacher who started a contest meant to get people excited about the Square Root Day event. The winner will get $339 for having the biggest Square Root Day event.
Gordon’s daughter has also set up a Facebook page which is dedicated to the holiday — and hundreds of people had signed up with the plans to celebrate in some way. The celebrations are very weird some cut root vegetables into squares, others make food in the shape of a square root symbol.
The last such day was five years ago, Feb. 2, 2004, which coincided with Groundhog Day. The next is seven years away, on April 4, 2016.
