assuming that he lives that long, one of the authors of this book will be 76 years old in the year x^2 where x is the counting number.
in what year was he born?
:
Find the nearest counting number that has a square around 1950
sqrt%281950%29 = 44.15... then 45^2 = 2025
Find the year of his birth: 2025 - 76 = 1949
