A squared day only happens 9 times in a century.

Last one was 4/4/16 and it won't happen again until 6/6/36.




The last time it occurred on Cinco De Mayo was the first time since it didn't exist on 5/5/1825

Just curious, 5/5/1925 didn’t count?

Or were you saying 5/51925 WAS the first time? Coffee hasn’t hit yet, lol

5/5/1925 is the FIRST time Cinco de Mayo was a squared day.


Today is the second time.

Cinco de Mayo didn't exist yet on 5/5/1825

So squared days in a century for the math inclined:

1/1/xx01
2/2/xx04
3/3/xx09
4/4/xx16
5/5/xx25
6/6/xx36
7/7/xx49
8/8/xx64
9/9/xx81

Although not technically one, but you could argue:
10/10/xx00, since the square of 10 is 100

But 5 x 5 doesn't = 2025. It just equals 25. ;lol:

It is for the fools that write dates with 2 digit years and gave us the Y2K bug.

You could extrapolate that 10/10/2100 is the squared day for that one.

11/11/2121 and 12/12/2144 for the others

Although those would only occcur 3 times a millennium

Cinco De Mayo is a made up holiday white people came up with to have an excuse to get blitzed and not feel guilty about it.

Either way it’s Monday so get to work! Can’t wait for all the admin suburban wine mom’s to cackle about needing their margarita all day.

So like "99" instead of "1999."

What ever came of that? Was it all just bullshite that never happened? A bunch of frantic work that, while it made a lot of people a lot of money (and cost a lot of people the same) the doom and gloom never would have occurred had it not been done?

The company burned to the ground and its former employees either got jobs at other tech companies, went into hard labor jobs (including cleaning up the burnt building), or retired abroad in paradise with margaritas that are too salty.
