Humour not your thing, is it?
That ,eans we are going to listen to more Webern this year.
The next prime number year will be 2027
Coincidence? I think not!
These are all ominous years. We all know how 1764 affected world history with the Sugar Act.
Even better:
1. 2025 itself is a PERFECT square: 45² = 2025
2. It is a product of two squares, namely: 9² × 5² = 2025
3. It is the sum of THREE squares, namely: 40² + 20² + 5² = 2025
4. It is the sum of the cubes of all the digits from 1 to 9:
1³ + 2³ + 3³ + 4³ + 5³ + 6³ + 7³ + 8³ + 9³ = 2025
5. It is also the squared sum of all the numbers from 1 to 9: (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9)²=2025
I asked my PA to check all of this, and with only one look she confirmed the outcomes, so it must be true. It will be a great year.
Scary. Any relation to the pyramid of Cheops or to the Mayan calendar?
This means lots of weddings on April 5. Even better, double weddings.
2025 is also year 1 of the new Trump era.
And Trump will be the 45th President…
Was the 45th President, mea culpa…
That makes sense, but I just don’t know how.
Which is why I prefer circles.
