Today is 12 day of the year.
12 = 2^2 * 3
12 = 3 + 4 + 5 which makes it the third term of the sequence A027480.
12 = 5 + 7, i.e. the sum of two consecutive primes.
12 is a member of two primitive, Pythagorean triples (5, 12, 13) and (12, 35, 37).
Starting at 0, write the numbers down in a clockwise spiral. 12 is the third term in one of the diagonals.
42 43 44 45 46 47 48
41 20 21 22 23 24 25
40 19 6 7 8 9 26
39 18 5 0 1 10 27
38 17 4 3 2 11 28
37 16 15 14 13 12 29
36 35 34 33 32 31 30
This diagonal gives the sequence 0, 2, 12, 30, 56, 90 132 ... which has the formula 2n(2n - 1).
