I don't consider it cheating, I bet most of these rules have an internal relation.

They do indeed have an internal relation - they all add up to 2025. Obviously all the formula will be equivalent to each other. They are, by construction, all restatements of each other.

I guess that means that every number is equivalent to a formula? Is there some sort of metric of how many formula produce the same number?

45^2 = 2025 Happy perfect square year, everyone. The previous one was 1936 and the next one will be 2116.

Also, (20 + 25)^2 = 2,025! Happy New Year :)

Python:

    [x**2 for x in range(32,100) if x**2 // 100 + x**2 % 100 == x]
    [2025, 3025, 9801]

Happy new year to readers who are fellow humans, to any bots who, unbeknownst to us, can already experience happiness, and I guess if any gorilla, parrot, elephant, or dolphin is having this message communicated to them, happy new year to you too. Let's hope all our respective species keep existing.

I told my crow friends happy new year and I'm reasonably certain they know today is special even if they don't get why.

Totally nothing bad happened in the decade following the last perfect square year in 1936. :')

Unless something equivalent happened in 1849, 1764, 1691... I think we're OK :)

1225: ten years earlier, Magna Carta starting to limit monarchs and the seed of individual freedom

1681: eight years later was glorious revolution with a bill of rights, marking individual freedoms

1764: ten years later, beginning of American Revolution and being free of monarchs

1849: ten years-ish later, start of US civil war; was the time of an attempt by the British to end slavery around the world

1936: ten years later, colonial empires were being dismantled, UN established to attempt global cooperation, US in the ascendancy with a seed of ties being established more by economics than military force, great economic upswing lifting people out of poverty (60% in poverty then, 10% now) while the global population blossoms

2035: Majority of the global population in middle class or better, triumph of individuals over technocrats, bureaucrats, and corporatists :)

A late night but the most sober New Year's Eve I've had in twenty plus years. A single glass of Ruby Port in the neighbors and that was it, kind of proud of myself on that.

Same, just a couple of small beers and a glass of champagne.

I feel much better today than a year ago, where I was hangover most of the day

Probably fairly low because the future is still talking to us so there have to be at least some timelines extending from the present that make it

Other than Demolition Man , what is talking to us?

Heh, Demolition Man is a great film. I had the fortune to randomly rediscover it before it was recently re-recognized as incredibly prescient. It was a cool experience, made all the better because I was totally surprised by it. I had zero expectations and just thought it was a dumb fun action movie. It was actually great.

But as to your real question: well, tune in, man. :)

2025: 1) is a square: 45² 2) is the product of two squares: 9² x 5² 3) is the sum of 3-squares: 40²+ 20²+5² 4) is the sum of cubes of all the single digits: 1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³

5) sum of the single digits squared: (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9)²

Oh I like these two.
