A relay race is a track and field event in which athletes run a pre-set distance carrying a baton before passing it onto the next runner.
Often, a relay team is a team of four sprinters.
In athletics, the two standard relays are the 4x100 meter relay and the 4x400 meter relay.
Traditionally, the 4x400 meter relay finals are the last event of a track meet.
Nowadays, long distance relays have become increasingly popular with runners of all skill-levels.
These runners typically have 5 to 36 legs, each between 5 and 10 kilometers (3-6 miles) long.

El Toro, a Spanish term meaning The Bull, is a wooden roller coaster at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey, United States.
It was opened on June 11, 2006.
It had the steepest drop of any wooden roller coaster in the world, at 76 degrees, until Goliath at Six Flags Great America opened in 2014.
It is 188 feet tall, a world record breaking drop on a wooden roller coaster, and goes at a maximum (highest possible) speed of 113 km/h. The speed can sometimes be different.
At the beginning of the day, it starts slow, but it goes faster and faster throughout the day.
It begins at 108 km/h and by the end of the day it travels at 118 km/h. It has 4,400 feet of track, and the trains are known to not really slow down much through the whole ride.
El Toro is also known for its strong airtime (when riders would be thrown out of the seats if the restraints were not there).
El Toro is quite different than most other wooden roller coasters because it is made out prefabricated track, which means that the pieces of track were cut in a factory and do not need to be cut by hand.
This makes the time to build El Toro much shorter.
Since it uses prefabricated track, the ride is very smooth.
Most wooden roller coasters are known to be quite rough.
There is also an asteroid called 74 Galatea.
Galatea or Neptune VI, is the fourth closest moon to Neptune.
It is named after Galatea, one of the Nereids of Greek legend.

It was given the designation S/1989 N 4.
The discovery was said (IAUC 4824) on August 2, 1989, but the text only talks of "10 frames taken over 5 days", giving a discovery date of sometime before July 28.

Borat Sagdiyev  (Kazakh and Russian: Борат Сагдиев) is a fictional Kazakh journalist, created and portrayed by the English comedian Sacha Baron Cohen.
Humor is often derived from Borat being a foreigner and having strange customs, thoughts, and behavior.
There is also a lot of toilet humor in the series.
Borat hates Gypsies and is also Anti-Semitic.
Origins of Borat
The Borat character first appeared in short clips on F2F - The Granada Talk TV Show that Sacha Baron Cohen presented in 1996-1997.
Borat's life and family
Borat was born in the fictional village of Kuzcek, Kazakhstan to Asimbala Sagdiyev and Boltok the town rapist (who is also his mother's father).
He has a 13-year-old son named Hooeylewis and 12-year-old twin boys named Biram and Bilak, as well as 17 grandchildren.
He has an older sister named Natalya (whom he has claimed at different times to be either "the number four" or "number two prostitute" in Kazakhstan) and a younger brother, Bilo, who is mentally retarded.
It is revealed that he has a second wife in addition to a mistress, a girlfriend and a prostitute.
Borat is shown to have been married several times, after first having been betrothed to his half-sister's plough while in his teens.
His first wife Oksana was reported in the Borat movie to have been "broken" by a bear while taking his brother Bilo for a walk in the forest.
The death of Borat's wife did not bother him; he thanks the man who brings him this "good news" — and celebrates by trying to marry Pamela Anderson and eventually reuniting with Luenell, a black prostitute he met while filming his documentary.
Borat is a professional journalist and announcer on Kazakh television.
According to various in-character interviews with Sacha Baron Cohen, Borat learned at Astana University, where he studied English, journalism, and plague research.
He claims to have created five new plagues which supposedly "killed over 5 million goats and whores in Uzbekistan."
Borat was a pagan for most of his life.
However, in the movie he attends a Pentecostal church service and later converts his village neighbors to Christianity.
Borat greatly admires Joseph Stalin, and claims that both he and Stalin are strong men with powerful "khram" (genitals).
He hates women's rights and was surprised to learn that women can vote in some countries.
In his spare time, he enjoys playing ping pong, sunbathing while wearing a lime green "mankini", disco dancing, spitting, sitting on comfortable chairs, and taking pictures of women while they "make toilet".
Borat is shown in each episode of Da Ali G Show, doing funny interviews with real people in the United Kingdom and the United States.
The segments were shot in low-quality video to make fun of how poor Kazakhstan is and how it cannot afford good cameras.
Of Ali G, Borat comments on his website, "I appear on Alee G shows–He idiot, but it give me lot of girls & pickles; I like..."
The Borat segments on Da Ali G Show use a rock and roll version of the Russian folk tune "Korobeiniki" as the theme song.
Guide to Britain
Five Borat sketches were shown: "Etiquette", Hunting, Cambridge, Edinburgh and Henley.
The "Guides" to "English Gentlemen", "Politics" and "Sport" were also filmed at this time but released later as part of Ali G DVDs.
Borat Special
Some of the best parts were the "Guide to Sport" and a some video of Borat's village in Kazakhstan.
Though the village they used was really in Romania.
Guide to USA 1
Shown as part of a six part Ali G Show originally on HBO (USA) in February 2003.
Six Borat sketches were shown in the form of "Guides" to "Dating," "Etiquette," "Acting," "Men," "Baseballs," and "The (Deep) South."
A "Guide to Animals" was filmed, but released at a later date as part of an Ali G DVD.
Alyssa Greenfill was also in it.
Guide to USA 2
Shown as part of a six-part Ali G Show originally on HBO (USA) in July 2004. (
C4 was the UK channel where Ali G and Borat originally appeared, and the series for America was a HBO/C4 co-production).
Six Borat sketches were shown: "Wine Tasting", "Politics", "Country Music", "Hobbies", "Buying a House" and "Jobs" (careers).
A "Guide to Hunting" was filmed but only aired in the UK because it bothered animal rights people in America.
Borat appeared in the Ali G movie Ali G Indahouse as a Kazak diplomat.
Borat greets Ali G with a hug and kiss, but Ali pushes him away.
Borat then calls Ali a "cocksucker".
In the end, Borat performs a hip-hop song with superstar Max Allard.
The "Movie Film"
Subtitled Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, the movie Borat is mockumentary comedy.
Most of those appearing in the film are not paid performers, but real people whom Borat met on his journey.
The movie was distributed by 20th Century Fox, and directed by Larry Charles.
It premiered at the 2006 Toronto International Film Festival, and was released across Europe and North America on November 3, 2006.
The film follows Borat in his travels across the United States as he commits cultural solecisms and exposes a few American ones.
Over the course of the film, Borat falls in love with Pamela Anderson after watching a rerun of Baywatch and vows to make her his wife.
The film opened at # 1 in the United States, taking in $26.4 million on a limited release of 837 screens during its first weekend, beating Fahrenheit 9/11 as the biggest opening weekend for a film released in fewer than 1,000 cinemas.
Cohen celebrated the release of the movie with a host of promotional 'in-character' interviews.
With a production budget of $18,000,000, the movie earned $128,501,044 in the United States and another $128,848,505 in the rest of the world.
$257,349,549 in total as of March 2007.
Though he pretends to speak Kazakh, Borat really speaks in Hebrew mixed with some Polish and other Slavic language phrases, such as "" and "" (Polish "how are you" and "thank you").
As such, the film became popular in Israel.
Borat also lapses into Hebrew while purporting to sing the Kazakhstani national anthem at a Savannah Sand Gnats game.
He kept repeating a famous Hebrew folk song: (; kum bachur atzel ve'tze la'avoda;  "get up lazy guy and go to work [...]" ) [...] ; kookooriku kookooriku ha'tarnegol kara; "cock-a-doodle-do the cock has crowed"), and also called Kazakhstan a distant/desolate place (literally "hole" ()(hor)).
In the opening scenes in the town of Kuzcek, the villagers speak Romanian because these scenes were shot in Glod, Romania.
As in the rest of the movie, what is spoken does not match the translation given in the subtitles.
For example, when Borat's wife Oksana speaks, the subtitles show her telling Borat to "do something useful and dig his mother's grave," when she is actually telling him to go into "the devil's cunt."

Criticized as unfair smear against Kazakhstan
In August 2004, the Chief Rabbi of Kazakhstan, at an international religious meeting in Brussels, stated that in 10 years in the country, he had never faced anti-Semitism.
He praised the Government of Kazakhstan for its treatment of the Jewish community.
On October 19, the Associated Press reported that Kazakhstan's Deputy Foreign Minister, Rakhat Aliyev, had invited Cohen to visit Kazakhstan to see how wrong he was about it.
In an interview, Aliyev asserted that:
Denigration of Gypsies
Borat's film has frequently been accused of promoting antiziganism.
The scenes supposedly filmed in Borat's Kazakhstani village were actually filmed in an impoverished Roma (gipsy) village of Glod in Romania.
USA Today reports that poverty villagers were offered between $3.30 and $5.50 to bring animals into their houses and perform other acts some critics called humiliating.
The studio contends that
Two villagers of Glod have hired reparation attorney Ed Fagan to sue the makers of the film for $30 million for human rights abuses.
Fagan intends to submit lawsuits in New York and Florida state courts, as well as in Frankfurt, Germany.
Fagan said that he hoped to "teach Hollywood a very expensive lesson."
The lawsuit was thrown out by U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska in a hearing in early December 2006 on the ground that the charges were too vague to stand up in court.
Fagan plans to refile.
Denigration of Jews
"Borat essentially works a tool.
By himself pretending to be anti-Semitic, he lets people lower their guard and expose their own prejudice," Cohen explains to Rolling Stone.
Cohen, the grandson of a Holocaust survivor, says he wishes in particular to expose the role of indifference:
When I was in university, there was this major historian of the Third Reich, Ian Kershaw, who said, 'The path to Auschwitz was paved with indifference.'
I know it's not very funny being a comedian talking about the Holocaust, but it's an interesting idea that not everyone in Germany had to be a raving anti-Semite.
They just had to be apathetic.
Regarding the enthusiastic response to his song "In My Country There is Problem" (detailed below), he says, "Did it reveal that they were anti-Semitic?
But maybe it just revealed that they were indifferent to anti-Semitism."
However, the Anti-Defamation League, a U.S.-based group that “...combat[s] anti-Semitism and bigotry of all kinds”, complained to HBO after Borat performed a country western song titled "In My Country There Is Problem" that called on people to 'throw the Jew down the well', warning them that 'you must be careful of his teeth' and that 'you must grab him by his horns', to applause and joining in from some of the audience in Tucson, Arizona.
The chorus goes: "Throw the Jew down the well/So my country can be free/You must grab him by his horns/Then we have a big party."
In another scene, Borat visits the Serengeti Range ranch in Texas, where the owner of the ranch confides that he believes the Holocaust was a necessity for Germany.
He further implies that he would have no problem running a ranch where people can hunt, in Borat's words, "deer... then Jew."
An interview with James Broadwater, an evangelical Christian and Republican candidate for U.S. Congress from Mississippi, caused Broadwater to receive some hateful emails after an episode of Da Ali G Show aired in which Broadwater stated that Jews will go to Hell.
He was told that the interview would be played in foreign countries to teach others about the American political system.
Broadwater later posted a letter on his website against Da Ali G Show, explaining that his statement referred to a theological belief that anyone that "accepts Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour will spend eternity in Heaven, while everyone who rejects Him will spend eternity in Hell."
Broadwater did not apologise for his comments.
Instead, he insisted that "the liberal, anti-God media needs to be brought under the strict control of the FCC, and that as soon as possible."
In the movie, Borat continues to hate Jews and be fearful of them.
He does not like to fly while in America in case the Jews "make another 9/11".
Later, as he finds himself in a hotel run by an old Jewish couple, he tries to "escape" and throws money at two bugs on the floor, afraid that the Jews have shapeshifted into cockroaches.
Iraq war sarcasm
In January 2005, after pretending to be making a documentary, Cohen angered a crowd at a rodeo in Salem, Virginia.
The crowd first cheered his statements of "support" for the Iraq war, including statements like "We is support your war of terror", and "May George Bush drink the blood of every single man, woman, and child of Iraq".
However, the applause softened when he exclaimed "May you destroy their country so that for the next thousand years, not even a single lizard will survive in their desert!"
The crowd then got infuriated when he sang the (fictional) Kazakhstan national anthem to an off-key version of the US national anthem.
"If he had been out there a minute longer, I think somebody would have shot him," said one witness. "
People were booing him, flipping him off."
For his own safety, Cohen was escorted from the venue. (
Much of the event appears in the movie.
A credulous news report about the incident, aired on a local television station, is included in the DVD extras).
Controversy with Kazakhstan's government
In November 2005, following Borat's hosting of the MTV Europe Music Awards in Lisbon, Kazakhstan's Foreign Ministry said he was worried about the character.
Spokesman Yerzhan Ashykbayev told a news conference: "We view Mr Cohen's behaviour at the MTV Europe Music Awards as utterly unacceptable, being a concoction of bad taste and ill manners which is completely incompatible with the ethics and civilised behaviour of Kazakhstan's people", concluding "We reserve the right to any legal action to prevent new pranks of the kind."
Baron Cohen has since posted a video on the "Official Borat Homesite" where Borat responds to Ashykbayev in character.
In the video, Borat states, in part:
In response to Mr. Ashykbayev's comments, I'd like to state I have no connection with Mr. Cohen and fully support my government's decision to sue this Jew.
Since the 2003 Tuleyakiv reforms, Kazakhstan is as civilized as any other country in the world.
Women can now travel on inside of bus, homosexuals no longer have to wear blue hats, and age of consent has been raised to eight years old.
Please, captain of industry; I invite you to come to Kazakhstan where we have incredible natural resources, hardworking labour, and some of the cleanest prostitutes in whole of Central Asia.
Dzienkuje!
Reuters quoted an unnamed Western diplomat as saying, "They (the Government of Kazakhstan) are damned if they do [respond] and damned if they don't," he said. "
It's sort of unfortunate that he hit upon Kazakhstan."
Another unnamed source inside Kazakhstan's Washington embassy called Borat a "one-man diplomatic wrecking ball."
The next week, the government hired two Western public relations firms to counter Borat's claims, and ran a four-page advertisement in The New York Times.
The ad carried testimonials about the nation's democracy, education system and the power and influence enjoyed by women.
On a previous occasion, Borat responded to such official complaints by issuing his own "press release", a bunch of random Cyrillic characters.
He would again respond when promoting his movie in front of the Kazakhstani Embassy in Washington, roundly denouncing the advertisements as "Uzbek propaganda".
On December 13, 2005, the right to use the domain name www.borat.kz was suspended, and the site attached to it was closed down.
The domain-issuing body said that they took this action since false names were given for the site's administrators, and also because the site www.borat.kz was hosted outside Kazakhstan.
However, the stated underlying cause of the action was in order to censor the content of the site: "We've done this so he can't badmouth Kazakhstan under the .kz domain name," Nurlan Isin, President of the Association of Kazakh IT Companies, told Reuters. "
He can go and do whatever he wants at other domains."
Reporters Without Borders petitioned the ICANN ombudsman to allow Borat to keep the website.
Meanwhile, the "Official Borat Homesite" was moved to the .tv domain, where it remains.
As of October 14, 2007, the former domain name was still suspended.
The 2006 annual human rights report released by the US State Department cited the loss of the .kz website as evidence of the Kazakhstani government's efforts to stop free speech.
Borat has, however, recently been defended by Dariga Nazarbayeva, a politician and daughter of Kazakhstan's President Nursultan Nazarbayev.
She stated on a national news programme Karavan that Cohen's website "damaged our image much less than its closure, which was covered by all global news agencies," and "We should not be afraid of humour and we shouldn't try to control everything, I think."
White House "visit"
On September 28, 2006, Cohen appeared in character as Borat at the White House gates to give a press conference and invite "Supreme Warlord Premier George Walker Bush" to a screening of his forthcoming movie, along with "O.J. Simpson", "Melvin Gibsons" and other "American dignitaries", after which they would join him for drinks at Hooters.
Secret Service Uniformed Division Officers would not admit him on to the grounds.
Complaint by Gypsies in Germany
On October 18, 2006, European Centre for Antiziganism Research, which pleads against discrimination of Gypsies, filed a complaint with prosecutors based on Borat's comments about Gypsies in his movie.
The complaint accuses him of spreading lies and inciting violence against the ethnic group.
Avian Flu "Gift"
Victims of Borat hoaxes
WAPT (Jackson, Mississippi) TV news producer Dharma Arthur states in Newsweek she lost her job as a result of her booking Borat on a local afternoon news program.
At the time of the appearance, she was unaware of Cohen's act.
During an interview with anchor Brad McMullan, Borat made sexual and scatological references, kissed McMullan, and later disrupted a live weather report.
She said: "Because of him, my boss lost faith in my abilities and second-guessed everything I did... I spiralled into depression, and... was released from my contract... It took me three months to find another job, and now I'm thousands of dollars in debt and struggling to keep my house out of foreclosure... How upsetting that a man who leaves so much harm in his path is lauded as a comedic genius."
The broadcast, including the initial interview, the disrupted weather report, and several behind-the-scenes shots made by Borat's own movie crew, is seen in the Borat movie.
Not all hoax victims threaten to sue, however.
Behind-the-scenes interviews with Randall Shelley ("Guide to Baseball"), Danny Passmore ("Guide to Hobbies USA"), Jennifer Defrancisco / Charles Di Cagno ("Guide to Acting"), Ken Goldberg ("Guide to Being a Real Man"), and Peta Heskell ("Guide to English Gentlemen") have all resulted in the subjects deciding not to sue.
Borat gets sued
The state prosecutor in Hamburg, Germany, filed a complaint against Mr. Cohen, accusing him of slander, inciting violence against the Gypsy's groups, and violating Germany's anti-discrimination law.
Two fraternity boys featured in the movie have filed an anonymous complaint against corporations and persons affiliated with Baron Cohen in the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, California, for fraud, rescission of contract, common law false light, statutory false light, appropriation of likeness, and negligent infliction of emotional distress.
One of the plaintiffs has been revealed as Justin Seay, a graduate of the University of South Carolina and former Vice President of the Chi Psi Fraternity.
On December 11, 2006, an L.A. Judge denied the pair a restraining order to remove them from the movie.
Cindy Streit, the owner of Etiquette Training Service in Birmingham, Alabama, has claimed mistreatment and fraud after Borat came to a dinner party and embarrassed the other guests.
Ms. Streit has hired attorney Gloria Allred, who is demanding an investigation by the California attorney general.
Allred says her client agreed to be filmed as part of a documentary for Belarus television, and for those purposes only.
She is asking the attorney general to consider all appropriate relief, including a percentage of the profits from the movie.
20th Century Fox denied the claims and stated that there was nothing in writing about only being shown in Belarus; the studio also asserted that the release form clearly stated the footage could be distributed worldwide.

Maria Christina Röhl, (1801-1875), was a Swedish artist.
She was a sketch artist and drew portraits of many famous people.
In Sweden, her name is spelled as Maria Röhl.
She was born in a rich family, but in 1822, her parents died, and she became poor.
She then thought that she would become a teacher, but the artist Christian Forsell taught her to draw portraits of people like an artist.
She made portratis of friends of the rich family she lived with, and soon, it had become popular to go to her when you wanted to have a picture of yourself.
This was before photography, and it was cheaper than having your portrait painted in oil.
The king made her a court-painter in 1843, and in 1843-1846, she studied in Paris.
She worked as a portrait-drawer for thirty years.
Eventually, however, the new art of photography led to less assignments for her.

George Basil Cardinal Hume OSB, OM, MA, STL (2 March 1923 – 17 June 1999) was a British prelate of the Roman Catholic Church.
He served as Archbishop of Westminster from 1976 and President of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales from 1979 until his death.
Hume was elevated to the cardinalate in 1976.
Early life and ministry
George Haliburton Hume was born in Newcastle upon Tyne to Sir William Errington Hume and Marie Elizabeth Tisseyre.
His father was a Protestant heart doctor from Scotland, and his mother the French Catholic daughter of an army officer.
Hume joined the Benedictine monastery at Ampleforth Abbey in North Yorkshire at the age of 18.
He took the name Basil when he made his final promise to be a monk 1945.
He became a priest on July 23, 1950.
On 9 February 1976, Pope Paul VI made Hume the Archbishop of Westminster, the highest ranking Catholic priest in England and Wales.
He was the first monk to be archbishop since 1850 when Roman Catholic bishops returned to England.
Cardinal Hume's time in office saw Catholicism become more accepted in Britain than it had been for 400 years.
1995 saw the first visit of Queen Elizabeth II to Westminster Cathedral.
He also read from the Bible at the installation ceremony of Archbishop Robert Runcie as of Canterbury in 1980.
It was also during his term in Westminster that Pope John Paul II made first ever visit of a pope to England.
In 1998, Hume asked John Paul II for permission to retire, so that he could go back to his monastery at Ampleforth and spend some time fly fishing and watching Newcastle United Football Club.
He was diagnosed with inoperable abdominal cancer in April 1999.
On 2 June of that same year, Queen Elizabeth awarded him the Order of Merit.
He died just over two weeks later in London, at age 76.
His funeral was broadcast live on British national television and he was buried in Westminster Cathedral.
John Paul II said he was a "shepherd of great spiritual and moral character".
A statue of Cardinal Hume was erected in his home town of Newcastle and unveiled by the Queen in 2002.
The Cardinal Hume Centre based in Westminster works to improve the lives of homeless young people, families, and other vulnerable and socially excluded members of society.
The Cardinal Hume Rose is named after him.
The Cardinal Hume Catholic School  has been recently opened in Wrekenton, part of Gateshead, Tyne and Wear.

Proteus or Neptune VIII, is the second biggest moon of Neptune, and its biggest close moon.
It is named after Proteus, the shape-changing sea god of Greek mythology.
Proteus was found from the images taken by Voyager 2 probe during the Neptune flyby in 1989.
It got the designation S/1989 N 1.
Stephen P. Synnott and Bradford A. Smith said (IAUC 4806) its discovery on July 7, 1989, speaking only of “17 frames taken over 21 days”, which gives a discovery date of sometime before June 16.
Proteus is more than 400 kilometres in diameter, bigger than Nereid, another moon of Neptune.
However, it was not found by Earth-based telescopes because it is so close to the planet that it is lost in the glare of reflected sunlight.
Proteus is one of the darkest objects in the solar system.
Like Saturn's moon Phoebe, it reflects only 6 percent of the sunlight that hits it.
Proteus is very cratered, showing no sign of any geological changes.
It is also not a sphere; scientists believe Proteus is about as big as a body of its density can be without being pulled into a spherical shape by its own gravity.
Saturn's moon Mimas has much more spherical shape despite being less massive than Proteus.

Nereid was found on 1 May 1949 by Gerard Kuiper, who suggested the name in the report of his discovery.
It is named after the Nereids, sea-nymphs of Greek mythology.
It was the farthest of Neptune's known moons for a long time (Halimede through Neso have since taken that honour), and is the third biggest, with a diameter of 340 km.
Its orbit averages 5,513,400 km in radius, but is very eccentric and varies from 1,353,600 to 9,623,700 kilometres.
For a long time this was the most highly eccentric orbit of any known moon in the solar system, but Bestla, a more recently discovered moon of Saturn has a more eccentric orbit.
The unusual orbit suggests that it may be a captured asteroid or Kuiper belt object, or possibly that it was perturbed during the capture of Neptune's largest moon Triton.
Very little else is known of Nereid.
Nereid was too far to be properly imaged by the Voyager 2 probe when it visited the Neptune system in 1989.
Photos sent back show only its very non-spherical shape, and no surface features could be seen at the resolution available.

A square number, sometimes also called a perfect square, is the result of an integer multiplied by itself.
1, 4, 9, 16 and 25 are the first five square numbers.
In a formula, the square of a number n is denoted  (exponentiation), usually pronounced as "n squared".
The name square number comes from the name of the shape; see below.
Square numbers are non-negative.
Another way of saying that a (non-negative) number is a square number, is that its square root is again an integer.
For example,  = 3, so 9 is a square number.
The squares  smaller than 702 are:
02 =0

The number m is a square number if and only if one can compose a square of m equal (lesser) squares:
A square with side length n has area .
The expression for the nth square number is n2.
This is also equal to the sum of the first n odd numbers as can be seen in the above pictures, where a square results from the previous one by adding an odd number of points (shown in magenta).
The formula follows:
If the last digit of a number is 0, its square ends in an even number of 0s (so at least 00) and the digits preceding the ending 0s must also form a square.
If the last digit of a number is 1 or 9, its square ends in 1 and the number formed by its preceding digits must be divisible by four.
If the last digit of a number is 2 or 8, its square ends in 4 and the preceding digit must be even.
If the last digit of a number is 3 or 7, its square ends in 9 and the number formed by its preceding digits must be divisible by four.
If the last digit of a number is 4 or 6, its square ends in 6 and the preceding digit must be odd.
If the last digit of a number is 5, its square ends in 25 and the preceding digits must be 0, 2, 06, or 56.
If the number is of the form m5 where m represents the preceding digits, its square is n25 where  and represents digits before 25.
For example the square of 65 can be calculated by  which makes the square equal to 4225.
If the number is of the form m0 where m represents the preceding digits, its square is n00 where .
For example the square of 70 is 4900.
If the number has two digits and is of the form 5m where m represents the units digit, its square is AABB where  and .
Example: To calculate the square of 57, 25 + 7 = 32 and 72 = 49, which means 572 = 3249.
Odd and even square numbers
As all even square numbers are divisible by 4, the even numbers of the form  are not square numbers.
As all odd square numbers are of the form , the odd numbers of the form  are not square numbers.
Squares of odd numbers are of the form , since  and  is an even number.
