TIME: 17:00-17:30

Square Root Day

Square Root Day is when both the month and the day are the square root of the year. The first square root day was created by Ron Gordon, a high school teacher, on 09/09/1981. [wikipedia] It is an unofficial holiday where people often celebrate by eating roots. Last square root day was 04/04/2016, and the next one wiil be 06/06/2036. I don't remember what I was doing on 4/4/16 and who know where we all will be in 11 years. Let's celebrate the moment! Interesting enough, 2025 is also a square number.

About the Event

It will be a short 30-minute event celebrating the day, eating some roots, talking about geocaching. National Museum of Mathemetics (MoMath) is just a block away. Anyone interested is welcome to visit as well.

Tentative Schedule:

17:00 Meet by the bench outside of Madison Square Park at 5th Ave x W25th St intersection, drop off/pick up/discover trackables, and sign the logbook

17:25 Group photo with 5th Ave x W25th St street sign.

17:30 Event ends, but the fun may not end here. It's also Cinco de Mayo! Welcome to continue celebrating the day 🌮
