This
is definitely not an annual holiday. In other words, many years,
there is no Square Root Day. That's because the day has to do with
the specific day, month, and year. If both the day and the month are
square roots of the last two digits of the year, Square Root Day is
declared!
For
example, today is 4/4/16. And both 4 and 4 are square roots of 16.
The
last time we had a Square Root Day was March 3, 2009: 3/3/09. And the
next time we have a Square Root Day will be May 5 (Cinco de Mayo),
2025: 5/5/25.
When
will the next few Square Root Days after that fall? (Answer below.)
What
to do during square root day?
- Wear a Square Root Day t-shirt! Or give Square Root Day gifts.
When I say "square meals" - I do not
mean cutting food into little cubes!
Instead I mean eating healthy,
well-balanced meals.Eat three square meals, and involve root plants in each.
Potatoes with your eggs, for breakfast?
Carrots and radishes in your salad for lunch, perhaps?
And maybe beets at dinnertime, along with something like chicken or tofu?
- Do some square dancing, or play four-square, or learn about magic squares.
- Do NOT trim your tree roots to be squares! That really messes with your tree's growth!

Enjoy
Square Root Day to the maximum. Remember, there won't be another one
for years!
