So I'll be talking my favorite number at the moment, which is the number 2025. It's, just, it's 45 squared. So it's a square number. Don't get me wrong, big fan, love square numbers, but there are loads of square numbers and none of them become my favorite number. This one, because of a very personal reason and the reason I absolutely love it is that in the year 2025 I will turn 45. And so for a brief moment I will turn the exact square root of the then-current year. What a birthday party that's going to be. It's gotta go off and it's very rare. So very few people get this. It happens to me because I was born in the year 1980. And so if you were born in 1980 and you age 45 years, that's going to occur in the year 2025, which is 45 squared....
