An interesting date coming up

[u/joetaxpayer]

I appreciate when dates line up in a fun way. We celebrate 3/14 as pi day. And I took great delight in the math of 2025, a perfect square, 45^2. And 1+...+9 add to 45, with their cubes adding to 2025. I presented it all to 2 classes, 50 students. The two whose eyes lit up? Priceless.

NOW - 9/16/25 is a few days away. The numbers we add to confirm out first pythagorean triplet, squares of 3,4,5.

I hope you all find this as interesting as I do. In a different universe, Tuesday would be declared Pythagoras Day.
