    2025 will be a square year and we will have to wait another 91 years until the next one. Have a good one, one and all.

    Happy New Year to all those who are already sailing in the unknown waters of 2025.

    Ooo... my students will like that fact! Happy 2025!

    Well, the New Year has begun.

    Let's hope it's a good one for all of us, and that those who plan to unleash yet more Evil Knavish Tricks on the world are duly thwarted, frustrated, and confounded.

    Amen! Good Lord, deliver us! And New Year blessings to us all!

    Happy New Year to all, whether you’re halfway through the first day or still waiting for the year to start. We watched the Sydney fireworks on the TV. The midnight ones were very spectacular!

    Happy New Year to all Shippies from another scorcher of a day in South Africa's Overberg. Wildfires still burning in the mountains, but radiant blue skies and the wind has dropped at last. Hoping for a peaceful and safe 2025 for all of us in the southern hemisphere!

    Even better; 2025 = (20+25)² is a "perfect square" year. It is the square of the sum of all the digits of the decimal numbering system:
    (0 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9)² = 2025.

    It also happens to be the sum of the cubes of all the digits of the decimal numbering system:
    0³ + 1³ + 2³ + 3³ + 4³ + 5³+ 6³ + 7³ + 8³ + 9³ = 2025.

    Happy 2025!

    Happy New Year everyone, whether square or cubed! 🙂

    Thanks @Darda. I did Google what a square year was, but your explanation was much clearer.

    Huia - the mathematically challenged.

    Darda has provided an example of a standard identity: for any positive integer N, the sum of the cubes of 1 through N = the square of the sum of 1 through N.

    If you say so. :lol:

    Thank you! I hadn't realised that.

    Happy New year everyone. I have just been on the ship of fools page in another place and suggested that we all come here and post something.
