Square Root Day

The final Square Root Day of the century will occur on September 9, 2081.

Ron Gordon, a Redwood City, California high school teacher, created the first Square Root Day for September 9, 1981 (9/9/81).

Gordon remains the holiday's publicist, sending news releases to world media outlets.

[2] Gordon's daughter set up a Facebook group where people can share how they were celebrating the day.

[3] One suggested way of celebrating the holiday is by eating radishes or other root vegetables cut into shapes with square cross sections (thus creating a "square root").
