Eighty20 has sent out a Fact a Day every working day, without fail, for 17 years. Fact a Day combines two of the things we love at Eighty20: Facts and Numbers. We just began numbering our FADs (today’s fact is our 3,174th fact), and today’s interesting fact is if you combine the square root of 3 (1.732), with the cube root of 3 (1.442), you get 3.174.

We are marking the occasion with a competition.
