Hello friends!

Several folks responded to the question about 50 being the sum of three squares and the sum of four squares

Thanks KH, JC, BC and SJ!

3² +4² +5² = 50

and 1² +2² +3² +6² = 50

I am really thankful to all of you for sharing my love of all things science and engineering and math and other interesting areas.

Please share this with others.

Let’s cultivate curiosity!

That’s a BIG number! 🤯 

We are gonna need a bigger universe!

This is issue #52. Some fun facts about 52:

• It is the atomic number of tellurium - symbol Te, a brittle, mildly toxic, rare, silver-white metalloid. Interestingly, Tellurium is far more common in the Universe as a whole than on Earth. This is due partly to its formation of a volatile hydride that caused tellurium to be lost to space as a gas during the hot nebular formation of Earth

• The approximate number of weeks in a year.

• Total number of letters in the English alphabet - incl. lower and upper case letters

• On the modern piano, the number of white keys (notes in the C major scale)

• The number of cards in a standard deck of playing cards, not counting Jokers or advertisement cards

• The code for international direct dial phone calls to Mexico

That’s it for this issue.
