[Ed. Note-Today you get a BONUS POST because it is what is known as a Pythagorean Triple Day. rex will explain.]

Those of you in the Group for a while know of my general obsession with numbers (and in particularly the number 23.)

Today is not about 23 but it is an unusual mathematical day called a “Pythagorean Triple Day.”

That is, you take the number of the month and square it-

10 x 10 = 100

Then square the date:

24 x 24 = 576

Total 676

Now square the year

26 x 26 = 676!!!

Voila! They match like the sides of a right- angled triangle!

I hope you enjoyed today’s lesson!

I think I will undertake to do a bonus post every time there is Pythagorean Triple Day going forward!

For today’s bonus song I offer the most well-known “triangle song” in my collection. Here is NEW ORDER 🇬🇧 with “Bizarre Love Triangle”

Enjoy!

[Ed. Note – And lest you think you are going to get bombarded with bonus posts from rex whenever this mathematical sequence arrives on the calendar please be advised the next such day will be on March 4, 2105! Today is the last triple P day this century!!]
