I had a motorcycle number plate that fell into line..31415V..
3+1=4 314
4+1=5. 415
5 in roman numerals is V..
Now how cool is that?

And i am a math guy.
Here's a fun one for you.
Square the first 8 numbers where all digits are 1s. 11, 111, 1,111 and so on.
You'll see the pattern right away.

say one day..I'm gonna square 1's and add a 1 and square that and so on to see what happens.... Like I said I'm not a numbers guy (flunked math more times than I can count) and this fascinates me..
Like the Fibonacci sequence and how it relates to natural things.. The ratio and how it works in geometry and photography. Who thinks this stuff up? Well beyond my pay grade...
now where is my calculator...

Why you ask?
I was stuck behind a rolled over tanker truck on the highway north of Manchester, England.
Was stuck for nearly 3 hours. Was in a null so my phone got no signal.
Couldn't find a radio station with anything i wanted at 5:30 in the morning.
So, i started messing around squaring numbers in my head.
I randomly picked 111. I realized that the middle number was 3 and that the middle number of 11^2 waz 2. Hmmmm.
So i started doing the 4, 5 & 6 digit versions and came up with an "I'll be darned".
There patterns that form when squaring numbers when all the digits are 3, 6, or 9 too.

that the significant time will occur at "22 past 10PM". Shouldn't that be at 22 mins. past 2 PM?

as "22 past 2200 Hours", keeping it consistently in military time.
